Harebells (Campanula rotundifolia) flourish here. They like dry sandy, undisturbed ground, but certainly not damp conditions. The thin arching stems and small blue bells look quite delicate. In illustrations fairy’s are often depicted under a harebell. In fact the harebell is a robust plant, withstanding drought and competing vegetation. A welcome sight from mid-July through to September.
