Does perusing a puffy, white cloud floating aimlessly in a vast early morning cerulean sky make you smile? If so, you’ll be beaming all summer long after planting Harebell, a cold-hardy perennial that produces delicate, bell-shaped blooms in pale blue, pink, and white from June until August. Accompanied by slender stems and refined verdant leaves, Harebell provides loads of color and texture. Reaching a maximum height of 12 to 18 inches and a spread of 6 to 12 inches, pollinators including bees and hummingbirds adore this wildflower. Also known as Campanula rotundifolia, Bellflower, Bluebell of Scotland, Scottish Harebell, Fairy Thimble, and Witches' Bell, this charmer also is a superb naturalizer.
Native to various locations in the Northern Hemisphere such as Scotland, Harebell forms an upright clump. A semi-evergreen, this wildflower is disease resistant and drought resistant. Also adding deer resistant to this perennial’s long list of positives, you can rest easy every night knowing that Harebell’s little bundles of blue will still be standing long after you wake up in the morning to drink your first cup of coffee. Adding its low-maintenance regimen, this is the perfect choice for any gardener with a calendar void of space.
Harebell Care
While Harebell can tolerate nutrient-deprived soil, it thrives when planted in sandy, chalky, or loamy soil that drains well and has a pH between 6.0 and 8.0. It tolerates partial shade to full sun; however, this pollinator’s dream does best when exposed to full sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. Drought tolerant, this herbaceous perennial typically requires one inch of water weekly. This wildflower is a light feeder and only requires fertilizing one time each year during the spring. Simply feed Harebell with a balanced (10-10-10), all-purpose fertilizer.
Minimal fuss, Harebell does not normally require pruning. You can deadhead spent blooms during the summer, which can extend the flowering period if you so desire.
Harebell Spacing
Harebell adds color and grace when grown as a border by itself or with other perennials such as roses and spiderworts. Space Harebell 9 to 12 inches from the next plant when grouped in a drift. Harebell also performs well when planted in rock gardens.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
