Round Leaf Harebell
Round Leaf Harebell is a petite rhizomatous perennial herb bellflower with delicate 1″ blue-violet flowers that hang alone or in clusters along the nodding stems up to 4-15″ tall above foliage. Blooming can be sporadic but long lasting through summer and fall, especially if the spent blooms are deadheaded. Harebell’s basal leaves will go deciduous, and narrow stems remain.
Wonderful for a rock garden or container planting, and with good drainage and regular moisture, should reseed. Some theorize that the common name Harebell refers to an ancient association with witches, that were suspected to transform into hares.
