Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Campanula rotundifolia is a widespread harebell found throughout temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. In BC it is commonly found growing right out of rock outcrops along the shoreline. It has small leaves and narrow stems with relatively large bell-shaped lavender-blue to light blue flowers. It is highly variable in size growing from just four inches tall in challenging sites up to two feet or more in richer conditions.

Slender stems sporadically produce nodding, blue bells through the summer and well into fall. A delicate flower that doesn't mind poor, dry, rocky soil. It thrives in adverse growing conditions. It is equally at home in full sun or part shade, garden beds or rock gardens. This charmer is a must have for native flower lovers.

Deep blue flowers dance on summer breezes and often rebloom in fall up until the first hard frost. Although demure in stature, Harebell is one tough cookie. Campanula rotundifolia excels in thin, rocky soils, as well as dry sand. Perfect for rock gardens and dry, semi-shaded slopes. Also refered to as Blue Bellflower. Hardy to Zones 2 - 7.

Our native found in the Cascades and Olympics as well as circumarboreally in the northern hemisphere. Easy in the garden and a good choice for the rock garden where the low mats of fine leaves are perfect backing for the blue bells held by aloft by thisn wiry stems. Tough as nails.
