@pelly I knew it!! You're absolutely right. I wouldn't have known the fancy words for it but I've seen Balloon Flowers. I just thought they were a ground ish level plant. This tall one must be different to the ones I've seen 😊😊

Thanks but I had to Google it as it looked like a Balloon Flower but I wasn’t sure if you could get doubles. The power of the internet eh? @midnightgardener 😂😂

@lizfrost It looks closer to a Campanula, possibly persicifolia. Very narrow leaves for a Platycodon
