Campanula rotundifolia - Harebell
Harebell is an airy plant with small little flower but is stunning when planted in masses. This plant flowers in late spring, but reflowers for several months throughout summer. Harebell can be used on gardens borders or as a filler plant throughout a garden—filling in gaps between the taller flowers and grasses. If planting in a garden do not plant it beside a plant species that will overtake this delicate plant. It grows well on poor, dry soils, and would do well in a rock wall, rock garden or beside walkways.
