The corolla is bell-shaped, with five deep lobes slightly ciliate. The flowering period extends from June through September. The flowers are pollinated by insects (bees, flies, butterflies, etc.) (entomophily). The fruit is a capsule with five pores near the base, where the seeds are spread.
The flowers usually have five (occasionally 4, 6 or 7) pale to mid violet-blue petals fused together into a bell shape, about 12–30 mm (15 ⁄ 32 – 1 + 3 ⁄ 16 in) long and five long, pointed green sepals behind them. Plants with pale pink or white flowers may also occur. [6] The petal lobes are triangular and curve outwards.
Campanula rapunculus, common name rampion bellflower, [1] rampion, rover bellflower, or rapunzel, is a species of bellflower (Campanula) in the family Campanulaceae.
