The Native Plant Store can Now be Found Here

  • This page will remain accessible as a library page until I have all the species moved to the new page and all the quirks worked out in the new software so it can function as a searchable library.
  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information in this existing library to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.

Campanula rotundifolia, Bluebell of Scotland

Campanula rotundifolia

Giesecke's Bellflower

  • Average to dry soils -Happy in rock niches, especially limestone
  • Full sun to light shade
  • 12” tall, 6” to 8” spread
  • Early summer blooming, with sporadic reblooming
  • Native to Ontario, beginner friendly, open meadow and rock garden settings

New to me this year, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/campanula-rotundifolia-harebell-prairie-moon-nursery.html 

After many botanical name iterations, these are once again officially Campanula rotundifolia according to VASCAN and are considered to be native throughout Canada.

These lovely, apparently delicate, plants don’t handle competition for space well, but can thrive in rock niches and garden areas where they aren’t overwhelmed by more rambunctious neighbours.

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.

While it rarely comes up, I do reserve the right to limit plant quantities, mostly to help ensure that as many native plant gardens as possible become a reality
