Harebell (Campanula rotundifolia) blooms in early summer and often re-blooms in fall. Blue-violet bell shaped flowers nod on slender, wispy stems up to 12 inches high. While delicate in appearance, Harebell is a tough little plant. Extremely drought tolerant, it loves dry sandy and gravelly soils making it a good species for rock or xeric gardens, and semi-shaded slopes. Harebell is a "circumpolar" native species, found growing around the world in the Northern Hemisphere. The name is said to come from a folk belief that witches used the plant to transform themselves into hares. Other common names include Bluebell Bellflower and Witches Thimble.
