DESCRIPTION:
Flower These bell shaped flowers are about an inch long and a beautiful shade of purple. The petals are very delicate and each have 5 points at the end of the bell shape. While they're in the same family, Harebells are not to be confused with Bluebells. The blooms droop downwards as they grow on the stem and appear to be thin and paperlike. |

WHOLE PLANT:
Stem The wiry stems grow up to a foot tall, and support multiple blooms per stem. Leaves
The leaves growing on the stem are long and grasslike, blending into the meadows where the plant typically grows. The basal leaves at the base of the plant are a bit wider and more lance shaped. |

WHERE TO FIND IT:
This plant grows in a wide variety of places up to 12,000ft of elevation. They're most often spotted in meadows, along forest trails, and in both sunny and shaded areas. These flowers often grow in colonies around themselves, as they attract many different pollinators but also self pollinate.
