Summary
Southern harebell (Campanula divaricata) is a showy, floriferous perennial worthy of wider garden use. Reaching 12-30” in height, southern harebell attracts attention in late summer with its small, pale blue violet, bell-shaped flowers and narrow, lance-shaped leaves on open, branching stems. Southern harebell excels in acidic, dry to average, well-drained rocky soils in filtered shade to full sun and is drought-tolerant once established. It prefers sloping, open woodland situations and rocky outcrops. Southern harebell grows well with other plants that require sharply-drained soil such as Appalachian sedge (Carex appalachica), early saxifrage (Micranthes virginiensis), wild columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), common woodsia (Woodsia obtusea), fire pink (Silene virginica), and curlyheads (Clematis ochroleuca). Zones 4-9.
