Campanula garganica (Adriatic bellflower), syn. C. elatines var. garganica, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Campanula of the family Campanulaceae, native to Southern Europe. It is a small, spreading herbaceous perennial growing to 5 cm (2 in). Basal rosettes of leaves bear a profusion of star-shaped blue flowers in summer.[1]

Cultivars include 'Dickson's Gold',[2] with gold-coloured foliage, and 'W.H. Paine', with white-centred, lilac coloured flowers. The latter has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]
