Campanula medium reaches approximately in height. This biennial herbaceous plant forms rosettes of leaves in the first year, stems and flowers in the second one. The stem is erect, robust, reddish-brown and bristly hairy. The basal leaves are stalked and
lanceolate to
elliptical and long with serrated leaf edge. The upper leaves are smaller, lanceolate and
sessile, almost embracing the stem. The flowers are arranged in a
racemose inflorescence of extremely long-lasting blooms. These attractive bell-shaped flowers are short-stalked, large and
hermaphroditic, with different shades of violet-blue or rarely white. The corolla has five fused petals with lightly bent lobes (known as a coronate flower type). The flowering period extends from May to July in the Northern Hemisphere. The flowers are either self-fertilized (
autogamy) or pollinated by insects such as bees and butterflies (
entomogamy). The seeds ripen from August to September and are dispersed by gravity alone (
barochory). ==Distribution==
