These are at the base of a big leaf maple and in an area that was probably once a flower bed. The flowers are rather straw like in texture. Any ideas? I like the flowers so I moved a few to areas that won’t get mowed. I planted daffodil bulbs in the same area.
What great plant identification you all. Thank you. The flower cluster has opened more. I would have never guessed Campanula glomerata, known by the common names clustered bellflower or Dane's blood. .
Jewell—Glad to help. I am a Campanula fan. I have had several types over the year and still have a couple here and there on the lottie. Enjoy that beauty.
@Sjoerd the Campanula persicifolia are like weeds in many places on hillsides and unexpected places around the property. I was familiar only with this species. Fun to have another hardy variety to encourage and spread. I will be creating other places to grow this little tough perennial.
I love the clustered bellflower! I have one in my garden that has stayed in its place -so far! I have a white one too
