Campanula persicifolia or Peach-leaved Bellflower is a plant species of the genus Campanula. It can be almost one meter high.[1] Its flowers are cup-shaped and can be either lilac-blue or white.[2] Its foliage is narrow and glossy with a bright green appearance.[2]
It is common in the Alps and other mountains in Europe. It grows at lower altitudes in the north, and higher up further south, passing 1,500 m in Provence. It flowers normally in June; a dry summer may reduce or inhibit its flowering.
