Description:
First published as Campanula primulifolia in 1804, this perennial is native to Portugal and western Spain, where it grows in damp or shady habitats. It forms primrose-like leaves and tall, pyramidal panicles of saucer-shaped blue to lavender flowers, reaching around 60–90cm. It was later placed in the genus Echinocodon as Echinocodon primulifolius, although it is currently accepted as Campanula primulifolia by Kew and World Flora Online.
