Campanula Rotundifolia Subsp. Praesignis

Bluebell, scientifically known as Campanula rotundifolia subsp. praesignis, is a strikingly beautiful flowering plant native to the temperate regions of Europe and parts of Asia. Its delicate, bell-shaped blue or purple flowers bloom in early spring, adding a vibrant touch to woodland floors and shaded gardens. This subspecies is distinguished by its rounded leaves and a more compact growth habit compared to other campanula varieties. Often found in moist, well-drained soils, it thrives in partial shade and is a popular choice for native plant gardens. With its historical significance in folklore and its role in supporting pollinators, the bluebell remains a cherished symbol of spring's arrival.
