Many are valuable ornamentals and have become classic elements in the garden, adding a touch of grace and refinement. Species range from tiny alpines to 5-foot-tall specimens for the back of the border. The flowers are generally bell-shaped and lavender-blue, white or pink. Campanula persicifolia is commonly called peach-leaved bellf lower because the long narrow leaves resemble those of the peach tree. Itis native to Western Asia and Europe, and forms upright spires about 3 feet tall, with many flowers of lavender-blue or white. The plants prefer cool conditions and perform best in Zones 3 to 6. C. persicifolia plants spread and will also self-sow quitefreely in the right environment - full sun or part shade, and moist well-drained soil. They are an elegant and showy addition to any border, and also make excellent cut flowers.
