Wildflower of the Week: Harebell As the cold shuts down the growing season, one of the last wildflower bouquets to grace my kitchen table is a tiny vase of pretty blue harebells. You see, although harebells appear delicate, with drooping bell-shaped 3/4-inch blooms atop multiple hairlike stems, the plants are much hardier than they look. I have found paper-thin harebell blossoms well into September and even October, even after hard freezes have transformed other plants into the brown and tan colors of fall. Harebells grow in a variety of habitats, in sun or shade, on rocky slopes and in woods and meadows. I find the best place to spot this wildflower is along dry road cuts. If you are hiking in the park, you may notice that harebells, which can be a foot tall in the valley, grow shorter and shorter as you climb in elevation.
