−
A delicate perennial with graceful, slender stems, usually in clusters, rising in height from 4-15 in. The stems can be weak so that the entire plant bends over. Its rounded, basal leaves wither early while the narrow, stem leaves remain. Blue-violet bell-shaped flowers hang singly or in clusters along the top parts of nodding, thread-like, mostly unbranched stems that grow in small patches. The nodding, bell-shaped, lavender flowers are borne in loose clusters at stem tips.
+
===Uses===
−
The genus name, from the Latin campana (bell), means little bell. The name Harebell may allude to an association with witches, who were believed able to transform themselves into hares, portents of bad luck when they crossed a persons path. In Scotland, another old name for this plant was Witches Thimble. The characteristics of this perennial vary considerably, depending on habitat conditions. Among other common species are the Southern Harebell (<ref>C. divaricata</ref>), with wider leaves and smaller, white or pale lavender flowers, typical of wet, grassy meadows. The common garden Bellflower (<ref>C. rapunculoides</ref>), which frequently escapes from cultivation, has flowers usually borne on one side of the stems and lanceolate or heart-shaped leaves.

Description

Perennial, typically glabrous, rhizomatous herb growing from a taproot, up to 80 cm tall with bluish purple flowers.[2] Leaves entire;[3] basal leaves long petiolate,[3] round to broadly ovate;[4] cauline leaves alternate, linear, to 8 cm long.[2] Inflorescences racemose.[4] Flowers radially symmetrical,[3] calyx lobes 5, linear;[2] corolla campanulate, bluish purple, 5-lobed;[3] stamens 5; ovary inferior, becoming nodding 3-celled capsule, 4-8 mm long.[2]

Bloom Period

June - September[2]

Distribution

Widely distributed throughout Washington; circumboreal.[2]

Habitat

Open, rocky areas across altitudes[2] with sandy, well-drained soils.[5]

Uses

First Nations - Use by a number of different tribes as heart and ear medicine, and as a fumigant for eye medicine. Navajo use as spiritual medicine for protection.[6]

Wildlife - Attracts Butterflies, moths, birds, and bees.[7]

Propagation

SEED PROPAGATION

For best results, seeds should be sown inside and not covered after sowing. They should be bottom-watered. These seedlings will germinate quickly but will not flower until the second year. Root cuttings or stem cuttings stuck in damp sand are other propagation methods useful for this species.[8]

FloweringTime June- Sept
Seed CollectionTime Late July through mid-Sept.
Crop Intervals Perennial

Fruit/Seed Dormancy and Treatment:No treatment. Seeds may need light for good germination.

Seed

Seed sample from: 2011

Average Measurement: 1 x 0.4 x 0.2

Measurement Range: L: 1 - 1.1, W: 0.3 - 0.5, D: 0.2 - 0.3

Features

Shape: Seeds tapering slightly at hilium end and opposite apex.

Color: Hilium and opposite end are dark brown. The rest of the seed is light brown.

Surface:Seeds longitudinally striate and glossy.


Latitudinal Cross Section: elliptical CARO lat.png

Longitudinal Cross Section: elliptical CARO long.png

Basic Explanations and Assumptions:

The dimensions for the seeds are length x width x depth. The location of the hilum is used as the base of the seed, and the length is measured from hilum to the opposite apex. Where a style is present, the length is measured from the hilum to the bottom of the style. Width is measured at a right angle to the length at the widest part. Depth is measured at a right angle to the intersection of height and width lines.

Measurements included are the mean average for each measurement of ten separate seeds.

All measurements in millimeters unless otherwise noted.
