Campanula aka Bellflower

Campanula, also known as bellflowers, is the type genus of the Campanulaceae family. Its common and scientific names are derived from the bell-shaped flowers it produces. There are over 500 species and several subspecies of Campanula, found in temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The Mediterranean region to the Caucasus has the highest diversity, while some species can be found in mountains across tropical areas of Asia and Africa. Campanula includes annual, biennial, and perennial plants, ranging from dwarf arctic and alpine species to tall grassland and woodland varieties. The flowers are primarily lavender or light blue, but can also be pink or white, and have an upturned, open cup-shaped structure. These plants are known for their ability to spread and make excellent ground cover. Most bellflowers start blooming in July and continue to flower until frost.
