Well, last week I did. This is Campanula carpatica and the plant tag assures me that it will grow for me outdoors when it is finished blooming indoors. I did ask the store to reduce the price for me since the plant looked rather shabby, which they did. I think that the plant probably dried out and wilted and then was given too much water to compensate. I do hope it will be o.k. because I love Campanulas. Now, I will just have to wait and see if my gamble will pay off.
Have a beautiful day!

I do this A LOT! Usually with more success than failure but hey when you win it's worth it. I just bought a wilty lavender plant that perked right up with a good soaking. You just have to learn what's salvageble and what isn't. Isn't all of gardening a gamble though?? Enjoy!
I've done it a lot before too, with mixed results. I have more success this time of year rather than later in the season.
Looking forward to seeing your results with this one. I would have certainly done this with any Campanula, plants that I have always admired and never gotten. YET!
