I sowed these seeds in spring and then transplanted them into pots. They are still very small. My problem: Slugs love them and eat them as they grow, spike by spike.

Description
Campanula rotundifolia, commonly known as Scottish Bluebell or Harebell, is a lovely perennial wild flower found throughout the Northern hemisphere. Between June and October, delicate, bell-shaped, nodding, blue-violet flowers appear on graceful stems. The plants grow to a height of about 50 cm in full bloom. Ideal for rock gardens, borders, cottage gardens and wild flower gardens in light, well-drained soil and part shade.
Campanula rotundifolia is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Campanulaceae family, native to the Northern hemisphere. The plants form basal rosettes of rounded leaves. Between June and October (or May to November depending on the growing conditions), numerous, very slender, 50 cm tall stems emerge carrying long, lanceolate, light green leaves with a slightly toothed margin, and delicate blue-violet blooms. The nodding flowers are bell-shaped, hence the common names Scottish bluebell, harebell and fairy bell. They are a magnet to nectar foraging insects. Pollinated flowers give way to seed heads, filled with small seeds that self-sow easily in the right conditions.
Harebells are one of the prettiest wildflowers, bringing a natural grace and charm to informal flower beds, rock gardens and borders. They are also popular cutting flowers for wildflower bouquets and arrangements. They thrive in most soils providing they are light and well-drained, preferably shaded from hot afternoon sun in warmer regions.

Planting and care
Sow in late spring/early summer in well-prepared, loose, light soil. Scatter the seeds then cover with ½ cm of soil or compost, firm down gently and water. Make sure the soil stays moist (but not waterlogged) until germination. As soon as the seedlings are big enough to be handled (approximately 15 cm tall), transplant them to their definitive position. If possible, choose a shady spot. Add a good shovelful of compost in each planting hole. Space your plants 40 cm apart. Flowering will take place during the second year.
Remove spent flowers regularly for tidier plants and to encourage fresh blooms.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
