Campanula

I am seriously considering to grow campanulas at the moment. Campanula is Latin term and its meaning is a little bell and popular ground cover species in New Zealand but I want to grow it on the pot or planter as I would like to enjoy its lovely and tiny flowers. I also love the name of the plant and one interesting thing is that they call it as "wind bell (風鈴草)" in China and " firefly house -蛍袋" in Japan. The feeling of those pretty names are well representing the beauty of this flower.

But it is a tad bit hard to find the vendor who sells grown ones and is mostly sold as seeds. However I believe there should be someone who will sell the grown ones on the market either on or off.
