AGM The best form of this species in our opinion! Light grey-blue-pink flowers on tall strong stems in summer to 1.8m. Best in good soil in sun or light shade.

Campanula lactiflora 'Platinum' stood out at the recent RHS Award of Garden Merit trials with it's unusual colour flowers that are clear and easy on the eye, mixing well with many other colour flowers.  Large, open heads with masses of flowers over a long season.

If you'd prefer it to be shorter then it will respond well to a "Chelsea-chop" in the spring, which will reduce the height by between a third and half depending on timing and season.
