graydots writes: I meant to add that it must like an alkaline soil because I have limestone and volcanic rock under my deck and many acid loving plants don't flourish in that soil Posted: 8:44 am on July 4th
graydots writes: Campanula punctata - Cherry Bells, Very invasive in a damp area, I've been fighting it for years - the first year growth is dense and low to the ground like the dwarf Chinese Astilbes. Then it shoots up flower stalks in the 2nd year. And it will grow in almost no light at all like under the deck so its hard to reach. Posted: 8:43 am on July 4th
