I brought these flowers with us, when we moved from MI. We bought them at a Farmer's Market and I am pretty sure they are Bluebells. Am I wrong? Just making sure so I can split the plant next year and spread them around the gardens.

I had some of those and they were called bellflowers. They could have another name. They are very cute little happy flowers.

Another commonly seen name for this flower in the nursery trade is Blue (or white) Peach-leafed Bellflower. Campanula persicifolia is the botanical name.

I think that is what I have also. I loved them at first, but they are very hard to get rid of. They can take over an area. Now I pull out most of them.

I had one at my old house and loved it. I didn't know they could spread out. Thanks for the warning Michele.
