Harebell is an upright perennial that produces attractive, bell-shaped blue flowers that bloom singly or in clusters and is easily grown in average, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. The plants typically need regular and even moisture and deadheading will encourage additional blooms. This is the same plant that grows in Scotland and is popularly known as the bluebells of Scotland. Harebells do best in moist shaded areas of rock gardens and in lightly shaded woodland area; plant in large groups and leave alone to naturalize.
