Detailed Information

The Bellflower cultivar Campanula x haylodgensis ‘Blue Wonder’ is a hybrid. This means its parentage is key to understanding its likely geographical origins.

* **Campanula**: The genus Campanula is widespread, found in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with a significant concentration of species in the Mediterranean region and parts of Europe and Asia.

* **’Blue Wonder’**: This specific cultivar is a hybrid, and while the exact parents might be proprietary information, Campanula x haylodgensis is known to be a hybrid between *Campanula cochleariifolia* and *Campanula carpatica*.

* *Campanula cochleariifolia*: Native to the mountains of **Central and Southern Europe**.

* *Campanula carpatica*: Native to the **Carpathian Mountains** of Central Europe (specifically Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, Poland, and Hungary).

Given the parent species, **Campanula x haylodgensis ‘Blue Wonder’ likely originated in Europe, specifically Central or Southern Europe. The Carpathian Mountains would be a key area to consider due to the parentage.**

It’s important to note that cultivars like ‘Blue Wonder’ are bred in nurseries and gardens, and the precise origin will be the location of the breeding program, but the genetic heritage points back to the mountainous regions of Central and Southern Europe.
