Favratia is a genus with one species, Favratia zoysii (Zois' bellflower), a low alpine bellflower that forms creeping cushions in limestone crevices. Its key to growing is sharp drainage, cool conditions and gritty, rocky soil.
Favratia zoysii, known commonly as Zois' bellflower, Zoysi's harebell, or crimped bellflower, is the sole member of the genus Favratia, closely related to Campanula (bellflowers).
The plant is endemic to Austria, northern Italy (Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto), and Slovenia. It grows most readily in limestone crevices in the Julian, Kamnik–Savinja Alps and the Peca Mountain, as well as in the dolomitic Alps of Italy and Austria. A white-flowered form of C. zoysii, called Lismore Ice was cultured from seeds harvested in the Julian Alps. The plant is much more compact in growth than its purple form. It is also slower growing and has smaller leaves, the tips of which are yellow.
