Campanula scheuchzeri aka Campanula Scheuchzeri

Taxonomy ID: 15777

Campanula scheuchzeri is a species of bellflower in the family Campanulaceae, native to various regions including the Iberian Peninsula, France, the Apennine and the Balkan Peninsula, Central Europe, and Romania. The plant forms solitary blue or purple campanulate flowers that bloom from July to August. It is named after Swiss botanist Johann Jakob Scheuchzer. While it is a super rare houseplant, it can thrive with regular watering and well-draining soil. It prefers long-lasting, direct light and should be kept less than 1 foot from a window. Repotting each time the plant doubles in size can eliminate the need for added fertilizers.
