Mounding Plant with scalloped heart-shaped leaves. Small five point star-shaped blue flowers on thin stalks. My friend thinks it is either a geranium or campanula. Any suggestions?

sxwarren writes: Yup. One of the low-growing campanulae, not adenophora. Posted: 5:41 pm on August 3rd

RetiredProf writes: Thanks guys but I don't think the leaves are right for any of your suggestions. Also the flowers are a lighter blue and very small. Any other suggestions? Posted: 5:17 pm on July 3rd
yoostabeayooper writes: I have these plants invading my garden everywhere. I have researched for several years and think I have finally found the name, Adenophora, (ladybells). The article I found reports that they are similiar in many ways to Campanula. The plants in my garden spread by underground runner and seed and are very difficult to discourage in my shaded gardens.

prairietransplant writes: Agree with your friend...it's likely to be a Campanula, possibly either Campanula poscharskyana or Campanula portenschlagiana. They are used as ground covers. There's a trick to telling them apart, but can't remember what it is. Posted: 2:01 pm on July 1st
