Campanula takesimana (Korean bellflower, Korean: 섬초롱꽃, seomchorongkkot) is a species of bellflower.[1] It bears pink to white flowers. There are several cultivars available for the home gardener.

Takesimana is seen as a less invasive alternative to Campanula punctata, its close relation.[2] They are similar in appearance, though the flower shape of takesimana can appear more flared. Both range in colour from white to pink.

The Korean herbal root, doraji (Korean: 도라지), does not come from this plant, but rather from the Chinese bellflower (Platycodon grandiflorus), although do-ra-ji is usually translated from Korean as "bellflower".[citation needed]
