Campanula rotundifolia - Scottish Bluebell Seeds

Campanula rotundifolia, commonly known as Scottish Bluebell or Harebell, is a lovely perennial wild flower found throughout the Northern hemisphere. Between June and October, delicate, bell-shaped, nodding, blue-violet flowers appear on graceful stems. The plants grow to a height of about 50 cm in full bloom. Ideal for rock gardens, borders, cottage gardens and wild flower gardens in light, well-drained soil and part shade.

Campanula rotundifolia is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Campanulaceae family, native to the Northern hemisphere. The plants form basal rosettes of rounded leaves. Between June and October (or May to November depending on the growing conditions), numerous, very slender, 50 cm tall stems emerge carrying long, lanceolate, light green leaves with a slightly toothed margin, and delicate blue-violet blooms. The nodding flowers are bell-shaped, hence the common names Scottish bluebell, harebell and fairy bell. They are a magnet to nectar foraging insects. Pollinated flowers give way to seed heads, filled with small seeds that self-sow easily in the right conditions.

Harebells are one of the prettiest wildflowers, bringing a natural grace and charm to informal flower beds, rock gardens and borders. They are also popular cutting flowers for wildflower bouquets and arrangements. They thrive in most soils providing they are light and well-drained, preferably shaded from hot afternoon sun in warmer regions.
