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.
