Venus's Looking glass

From LoveToKnow Garden

Venuss Looking-glass (Specularia) - These are similar to Campanulas, and often placed with them, though distinct. S. Speculum, with numerous open bell-like bright violet-purple flowers, is one of the showiest of our annuals. Besides the large-flowered form called grandiflora, some times purple and sometimes white, there is a double-flowered kind which comes true from seed, also a dwarf compact from with violet-blue flowers. S. pentagonia is another favourite, its flowers larger but less abundant than those just described, purple in color, with a deep blue centre. Both these kinds are hardy and generally scatter seed, which comes up year after year, without trouble, except to keep the seedlings within bounds.
