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".
