Campanula persicifolia
Also called Peach-leaved bellflower, Willow Bellflower, Narrow Leaved Bellflower, Peach Bells, Peach Leaf Bellflower, Willowbell
Campanula persicifolia, the peach-leaved bellflower, is a flowering plant species in the family Campanulaceae. It is an herbaceous perennial growing to 1 m (3 ft 3 in). Its flowers are cup-shaped and can be either lilac-blue or white. Its foliage is narrow and glossy with a bright green appearance.
It is widely considered an English cottage garden classic.
In cultivation numerous varieties and cultivars have been developed in a range of colours including white, blue, pink and purple.
Campanula persicifolia is common in the Alps and other mountain ranges in Europe. It grows at lower altitudes in the north, and higher up further south, passing 1,500 m (4,921 ft) in Provence. Normally it flowers in June; a dry summer may reduce or inhibit its flowering. Despite this it can flower as late as September in a cold year. The natural habitat of this plant is broad-leaved forests, woodland margins, rocky outcrops in broad-leaved woods, meadows and banks.
