I had fir bark dust blown in around all my shrubs and my campanulas. 1 month later my campanulas bloomed and were looking wonderful and now big sections of each plant are dying. Just looking crisp like they needed water which they didn’t. I can’t figure out what is happening
As campanula expands, it sends down roots from long stems. I wonder if the force of the blown bark, dislodged or damaged those fragile roots. At any rate, the plant is now stressed. I suggest gently lifting the edges and pulling the bark away from underneath the plant. Check carefully, including leaf undersides, for the common foliage pests: aphids, whitefly, spider mites, and thrips. These tiny pests suck juices out of the leaves and can be present in great numbers. Trim out unhealthy foliage and fertilize with a liquid fertilizer to give your plant a quick boost. If you find pests, a blast from the hose, Safer insecticidal soap and neem oil are treatment options. Research the particular pest for most effective treatment approach. An extreme but comprehensive measure in diagnosing problems is to lift the plant and examine it carefully for pests, root rot and crown rot. If soft roots or crown are discovered, divide the plant and cut out the rot.
What can I do to bring my Campanula Wonder to life? Is this even possible? I live in New York; my campanula plants are indoors; is there a chance for the flowers to be in full bloom in May? I am hoping to use the flowers as the centerpieces if I would be able to resurrect them. Please let me know if that’s possible, if not I will have to look for a different ideas for my centerpieces. Thank you Best regards
First, remove all the spent flowers. With some pruning and with proper care, you could easily see flowers then, but they don't usually bloom until a little later. You will have to simulate warmer conditions and longer light intervals, and it is likely to reach your goal here.

I planted out my campanula plant and it is only May and yet some of the buds are shrivelling up and turning yellow. It has been quite hot but I am watering them every evening. What should I do with them?
Likely, overwatering! Though it may be warm, it will be important to let the soil dry, very thoroughly, down to about 3 inches between watering.
It will be good to deadhead flowers to promote new growth.

I would like to know if it is a perennial, if it is part of a family of plants,what is the name of it and also it's common name
That is a Campanula. They are very hard to distinguish among the species of Campanula, so the Genus is likely as close as you will get.

This year was the first time I tried planting Campanulas. They didn't do much, but they are perennial and I imagine they'll do much better the second year. The variety is Campanula punctata rubriflora Will they bloom the 2nd year? I started them from seed this year.
Under normal circumstances, they don't bloom during the first year. I would expect to see flowers next year!

hello, I have a small potted campanula but it was my first one and I overwatered it and all the flowers died. I thought it might rebloom because there are some small buds-like things on the foliage but nothing seems to grow. Is my campanula dead? Will it rebloom only next year? Attached a picture
It is not dead. Those look like seed pods forming. It looks like a creeping variety that I have too and it only blooms once in May or early June. Try trimming it back about an inch and see if it will rebloom.
Can you plant it outside? It makes a great groundcover. I have mine in a container outside on my porch. It pretty much is evergreen all winter.

Is it Campanula? Aubrieta? Carpet Thyme? Thank you! :)
This is Campanula poscharskyana, or similar.
