Campanula carpatica (Tussock Bellflower)

Native to the Carpathian Mountains of eastern Europe, Tussock bellflower, with its dramatic blue bell-shaped flowers and clumping habit, is popular in borders and rock gardens.

Though it appears delicate, this plant adapts well to many environments; it also makes a good container plant because of its neat, rounded growth. Unlike many varieties of campanula, Tussock Bellflower has a subtle, sweet scent.
