Campanula garganica
Campanula garganica is a small, spreading, low-growing perennial from southern Europe that forms mats of basal leaves topped with star-shaped blue summer flowers. It thrives in sun to part shade with moist but well-drained soil, and is best suited to rock gardens, walls and the front of borders.
Campanula garganica, the Adriatic bellflower, syn. C. elatines var. garganica, is a species of flowering plant in the bellflower family Campanulaceae, native to Southern Europe. It is a small, spreading herbaceous perennial growing to 5 cm (2 in). Basal rosettes of leaves bear a profusion of star-shaped blue flowers in summer.
Cultivars include 'Dickson's Gold', with gold-coloured foliage, and 'W.H. Paine', with white-centred, lilac coloured flowers. The latter has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, along with the species.
