Is this the dreaded Cherry Bells?

I bought this campanula at my garden club sale in early May.


I thought it was labeled Canterbury Bells, but the label was on the pot and I no longer have it. I HAVE had Canterbury Bells in the past, and this is certainly not it.


Cherry Bells is Campanula punctata. I have one in a pot given to me by another gardener a few years ago. She told me to keep it in a pot. I have and it’s been fine.


This new one looks rather similar but not quite the same. It’s obviously had a lot of flowers already. But so far I have missed seeing one open in the typical shape I see on the known Cherry Bells.

Before I dig it up and incarcerate it (pot it) or throw it out, please tell me is this suspect is actually innocent.


Thanks!
