About

The genus Soldanella, commonly known in English as snowbell, includes about 15 species of flowering plants native to European mountains, from the Pyrenees, the Apennines, the Alps, the Carpathians and the Balkans. They grow in woods, damp pastures and rocky landscapes from 500–3,000 m (1,600–9,800 ft) above sea level, often in hollows which hold snow into late spring and early summer. The name Soldanella means "little coins" in Italian.
