Harebell

Harebell is perfect for a low-growing garden, creating a delicate spray of blue when nestled among other plants. Its showy periwinkle bells sit atop wispy stems, rocking in the breeze and attracting many species of native bees. This long-blooming plant begins blooming in early summer and continues into fall, especially if flowers are deadheaded after bloom. Harebell is a short-lived perennial, but it will persist in the garden if allowed to reseed.

• Allow at least some seedlings to take root each year to allow this short-lived perennial to persist in your garden indefinitely
• Consider deadheading spent flowers to extend bloom times
