Easy to grow in moist, well-drained soil, in the sun or half-shade.

Campanula carpatica, also known as Tussock Bellflower, is a herbaceous perennial native to the Carpathian mountains. It belongs to the Campanulaceae family. It forms rosettes of small, heart-shaped, toothed, light green basal leaves, eventually spreading to a minimum of 30 cm for a height of 25 cm. From June to August-September, numerous branched stems emerge over the foliage, bearing small bell-shaped light blue flowers (2.5- to 4 cm).

Campanula carpatica is perfect for rock gardens, borders, growing along garden paths or over low retaining walls. It can be used for underplanting evergreen or deciduous shrubs or rosebushes, which it will highlight with its lovely blue blooms all summer long in cooler climates. It also combines well with other low-growing plants such as rock cress and alyssum (A.spinosum or A.murale).
