Comments (8)imho Alliaria petiolata is a nasty-bit-o-business from the link below: "ECOLOGICAL THREAT Garlic mustard poses a severe threat to native plants and animals in forest communities in much of the eastern and midwestern U.S. Many native widlflowers that complete their life cycles in the springtime (e.g., spring beauty, wild ginger, bloodroot, Dutchman's breeches, hepatica, toothworts, and trilliums) occur in the same habitat as garlic mustard. Once introduced to an area, garlic mustard outcompetes native plants by aggressively monopolizing light, moisture, nutrients, soil and space. Wildlife species that depend on these early plants for their foliage, pollen, nectar, fruits, seeds and roots, are deprived of these essential food sources when garlic mustard replaces them. Humans are also deprived of the vibrant display of beautiful spring wildflowers. Garlic mustard also poses a threat to one of our rare native insects, the West Virginia white butterfly (Pieris virginiensis). Several species of spring wildflowers known as "toothworts" (Dentaria), also in the mustard family, are the primary food source for the caterpillar stage of this butterfly. Invasions of garlic mustard are causing local extirpations of the toothworts, and chemicals in garlic mustard appear to be toxic to the eggs of the butterfly, as evidenced by their failure to hatch when laid on garlic mustard plants.

Comments (5)Not C persicifolia. Flowers are not the right shape. There are loads of possibilities since we can't see the height, the habit or the foliage. C latifolia would be one. C trachelium would be another. Be aware that even if these were harvested by the seller from white flowered plants there is no guarantee that all the progeny will have white flowers. You may well end up with a good number of blue flowered plants. There are literally hundreds of species of Campanula, not to mention all the hybrids and cultivars. So when buying seed in future it would be wise to get the full botanical name so you know what you are getting....See MoreNeed identification help on plant with white flowers in central mn
Comments (10)Agree with floral - either Silene latifolia or Silene dichotoma at your northern location. It does look more like S. latifolia (White Champion), and that one is so common in your area that it is considered to be a noxious weed....See MoreMittens Cat
