Do you know the botanical name of the Chocolate Bellflower?

Good Day Meshelle, Thank you for visiting At Home with Rebecka.
Sadly, I don't know and can't find the botanical name for Chocolate Bellflower. I've searched for seeds to grow them but can't find the chocolate variatel. I believe they are Campanula species-CAMPANULACEÆ; Bellflower Family but can only find photos of them at my resource for purchasing edible flowers.
You can contact Fresh Origins at http://www.freshorigins.com. They may be able to answer your question better than I. If you find the answer, please let me know!
Best Regards, Rebecka Evans
