Can anyone tell me which one blooms longer and looks better throughout the growing season:
Campanula (Bellflower) 'White Clips' OR Dianthus 'Bath's Pink' I wanted to get a variety of dianthus called 'Greystone' but I can't seem to find it anywhere and I like the 'Bath's pink' as well. Happily married and mom of 4 Central maryland - Zone 7 |

I have the Dianthus "firewitch", it is a deep bright pink. It is blooming now. I find that after the first bloom, if I deadhead, it re-blooms.

I think the campanula probably blooms longer. When I've had dianthus, it bloomed, I deadheaded, then waited for it to get new buds and bloom again....
white clips pretty much blooms nonstop all summer. No scent for the campanula, though... This message has been edited. Last edited by: jvelo, |

I've tried 'White Clips' 3 times. It never made it past a second winter. It did bloom pretty good. Two yrs ago I tried c. carpatica x 'Pearl White' and I like it much better. About the same in growth habit, but it blooms longer and it's made it thru 3 winters...and this past one was really bad. As long as it's deadheaded pretty regular, it'll bloom thru the summer. I haven't had any disease or bug problems either.

Thanks Kat. I went ahead and bought some since I was finally able to find the 'White Clips'. I'll see how it does this year and hope it comes back next. If not, maybe I'll try the dianthus next.
