Campanula rotundifolia

harebell, scotch bellflower

Purple flowers bloom heavily in early summer and will bloom again sporadically through the fall, with small rosettes of leaves at the base yielding tall flowering stems. This pretty clumping plant will spread slowly via rhizomes. Great for native bees and moths.
