campanula or is it?

Last autumn i was given some root balls(without foliage and/or flowers) of "blue grape garden flower" that i identified as campanula glomerata from some phone pictures.
They started growing nicely (clumps of elongated jagged leaves on long petals growing from a single crown) survived the winter and are still presently growing foliage. 



But one of them started looking differently from mid spring onwards. it had a prominent square stem with wide space between segments, now its started flowering(early for glomerata) and it looks to me as 100% campanula but which one? 




If this one is glomerata then what will those clumps of long leaves grow into? 

Persicifolia?

or maybe

Latiloba?

or are they campanulas at all?

The leaves on the others look like C.glomerulata to me, so I am not sure what the flowering one is, although the flower looks a bit like C.glomerulata.

I think they are probably all campanula glomerata, it's just that one has grown more quickly and is more mature than the others. Not persicfolia anyway.

I agree with Liz, I had them, unfortunately the slugs had them before I could use any protection.

thanks ya all!


Thanks to heavens but at least there are NO slugs or snails in my (roof)garden
(saying that, I'm sure there is one right now crawling up a drain pipe and laughing at my statement ) 


Talking of pests: Black flies exploded across the city few days ago(attacked elderberry en mass, but little else) but i saw first two ladybugs today so that will hopefully end soon!

I have planted 3 Campanulas for the Harebell Bees to use near my bee tubes.
