The Harebell is also known as the Scottish Bluebell, and some controversy exists about whether the Bluebell is really the Wild Hyacinth, having usurped the Scottish version's name. We avoid this (or walk straight into it) by insisting on the name Harebell - things are already complicated enough! (We could go on about variability and whether subspecies exist or not, but it causes headaches). All this aside the HAREBELL is a particularly attractive perennial to be found all over the UK in dry grassy places, hedgebanks, dunes, etc.. It has slender upper linear leaves which are so grass-like as to be almost invisible at times. Our advice is to enjoy its simple beauty and don't think about it too much!
