Etymology

The term 'campanula' comes from the Latin word 'campanula', which means 'little bell', deriving from 'campana', meaning 'bell'. This nomenclature refers to the shape of the flowers that resemble bells. The plants in this genus are predominantly native to the Northern Hemisphere, especially in Europe and Asia, where they have been cultivated for centuries. The genus includes around 300 species, varying in size and color. Campanula species have been appreciated in gardens since ancient times due to their ornamental qualities and hardiness. They have been documented in horticultural texts since the Middle Ages, where they were often used in monastic gardens. The popularity of campanula has persisted through the years, and they continue to be favored in both wildflower gardens and ornamental landscaping.
