Campanula thyrsoides, commonly known as the Alpine Bellflower, is a perennial herb native to alpine meadows and limestone screes in the mountain ranges of Europe, including the Alps, Jura mountains, and the Balkans. It is found in countries such as Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, northern Italy, Serbia, Slovenia, and France. This species thrives at elevations between 3,300 to 8,500 feet, where it experiences cool temperatures and high levels of sunlight. The plant can reach up to 39 inches in height and is characterized by its dense inflorescences of up to 200 pale yellow, bell-shaped flowers that bloom from June to August, adding a splash of color to rock gardens and alpine collections.

The Alpine Bellflower is valued for its unique flower spikes and is often used in rock gardens, alpine gardens, and as a border plant in areas that can mimic its native mountainous conditions. It requires well-drained, chalky or limestone-rich soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. While it is not a drought-tolerant plant, it does need moderate watering, particularly in drier conditions. Campanula thyrsoides is relatively low maintenance but can be susceptible to slug and snail damage. It is not known to be invasive and generally does not present significant problems when grown in suitable conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
