  • Question

    Is this Campanula glomerata L. clustered bellflower? Non-native, correct? In Worcester, MA. Is it bad to let it stay in my garden if I have the correct ID? Thanks for your help.

    Answer

    Dear Lisabailey, good afternoon. The plant in the images does look like Campanula glomerata. While non-native and able to naturalize, this species does not invade forests. It tends to stay in cleared and disturbed areas around habitated areas. Best wishes.
