Campanula is one of several genera in the family Campanulaceae with the common name bellflower.

The genus includes over 500 species and several subspecies, distributed across the temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with the highest diversity in the Mediterranean region east to the Caucasus. The range also extends into mountains in tropical regions of Asia and Africa.

The species include annual, biennial and perennial plants, and vary in habit from dwarf arctic and alpine species under 5 cm high, to large temperate grassland and woodland species growing to 2 metres tall.

They produce huge spikes of extremely long lasting blooms in blue, purple, mauve or white. They grow to attain 90-120 cm in height.
