Harebell (Campanula rotundifolia) is a charming, native perennial that adds an airy elegance to gardens with its graceful, bell-shaped blue-violet flowers nodding atop slender stems. Blooming in early summer and again in fall, this resilient wildflower provides a valuable nectar source for hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and moths while also supporting birds. Why You’ll Love Harebell: Extended Bloom Time: Enjoy two blooming periods, in early summer and again in fall. Pollinator-Friendly: A favorite of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Adaptable & Easy to Grow: Thrives in full sun to part shade and handles various soil types. Low-Maintenance & Drought-Tolerant: Once established, requires little water and no chemicals. Deer-Resistant: Naturally unpalatable to deer, keeping your garden intact. Perennial Beauty: Returns year after year, enhancing biodiversity. Pollinator-Safe: Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids, promoting a healthy ecosystem for pollinators and wildlife. Available in sets of three, six, or 12 plants to suit gardens of any size. Planting Tips: Location: Prefers full sun to part shade. Well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils are ideal, but adaptable. Watering: Water regularly until established; then, drought-tolerant. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
