Campanula carpatica ‘White Clips’

White Clips Carpathian Bellflower

Campanula carpatica 'White Clips', commonly known as Carpathian Bellflower, is a compact, clump-forming perennial known for its profusion of pure white, cup-shaped flowers. Blooming from early to mid-summer, these elegant blooms sit above a cushion of bright green, heart-shaped leaves, creating a striking contrast. The flowers are long-lasting and often rebloom, bringing a fresh, clean look to rock gardens, borders, or containers.

Native to the Carpathian Mountains of Central Europe, 'White Clips' is a popular cultivar bred for its compact form and reliable blooming.

Design tip

Position this compact bellflower where its crisp white blooms can provide visual pauses between more colorful plantings. These quiet moments keep mixed borders from feeling overly busy, giving surrounding flower colors greater impact while creating a balanced, harmonious composition.
