Campanula garganica, the Adriatic bellflower, syn. C. elatines var. garganica, is a species of flowering plant in the bellflower family Campanulaceae, native to Southern Europe. It is a small, spreading herbaceous perennial growing to 5 cm (2 in). Basal rosettes of leaves bear a profusion of star-shaped blue flowers in summer.[1]
Cultivars include 'Dickson's Gold',[2] with gold-coloured foliage, and 'W.H. Paine', with white-centred, lilac coloured flowers. The latter has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit,[3] along with the species.[4]
