distribution_en:
description_en: Genus of about 300 species of annuals, biennials, and perennials, some of which are evergreen. They are distributed widely throughout temperate zones of the N. hemisphere, particularly in S. Europe and Turkey, and grow in diverse habitats, from high alpine rock crevices and scree to moorland, meadows, and woodland. Most species are easily cultivated and provide a long flowering display, blooming from late spring to late summer. The flowers are usually borne in panicles, racemes, or clustered heads, but are sometimes solitary. They vary from tubular to bell- or star-shaped, and may also be cup- or saucer-shaped. The entire or toothed leaves are alternate. Campanulas vary in habit from mat-forming, dwarf perennials to herbaceous species, 2m (6ft) tall. Dwarf campanulas are ideal for a rock garden or alpine house, and many grow well on a wall or sunny bank. The taller perennials are excellent for a mixed or herbaceous border, or for naturalizing in a wildflower or woodland garden. In frost-prone regions, grow less hardy species, such as C. isophylla in a conservatory or cool greenhouse.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy to frost tender.
cultivation_en:
propagation_en: Sow seed in containers in a cold frame in spring, except for alpines, which should be sown in an open frame in autumn. Divide in spring or autumn. Take basal cuttings of perennials in spring. To increase smalle species, take cuttings of new growth in early summer, or root rosettes of rosett forming species in spring. Take tip cuttings of C. isophylla in early spring, and root with bottom heat.
pests_en: Vulnerable to slugs and snails outdoors, and to aphid and red spider mites under glass. Some species particularly C. persicifolia and its cultivars, are susceptible to rust. Vine weevil may affect C. isophylla and other tender species under glass. Powdery mildew may also be a problem.
