Also called Carpathian Harebell, Carpathian Bellflower
Tussock bellflower is a low-growing perennial from the Carpathian mountains, valued for its purple (and cultivated white, blue, pink) cup-shaped flowers from June to August. It does best in sunny, well-drained spots, such as rock gardens or edging.
Campanula carpatica, the tussock bellflower or Carpathian harebell, is a species of flowering plant in the family Campanulaceae.
It was introduced to the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew in 1774 by Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin.
Several cultivars in shades of white, blue, pink and purple, have been developed for garden use.
Campanula carpatica naturally grows in elevated, mountainous habitat where they grow in and amongst rocks.
