Harvestbells is a perennial wildcard that typically grows up to 2 feet (60 cm) tall. It tends to flaunt unbranched stems and favors environments that are either fully or partially illuminated by the sun. Typically inhabiting moist conditions, this wildflower is not overly picky about its soil substrate and can thrive in sandy soils as well as fertile loam. Its preferred habitats include wetter areas such as woods near streams, marshes, and bogs, but it can also be found alongside roadsides.
