Plant Profile: Campanula divaricata

Campanula divaricata, commonly known as the Appalachian bellflower, is a perennial wildflower indigenous to the eastern United States. This species typically thrives in the Appalachian Mountains, favoring dry to moderately moist, well-drained, rocky, and acidic soils, often found in locations that receive filtered sunlight to full sun, such as cliffs, rock outcrops, and summits. In late summer, it showcases delicate blue flowers. Once established, the southern harebell exhibits drought resistance and is particularly suited to sloping, open woodlands and rocky terrains.
