About
Harrimanella is a genus of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae, with a single species, Harrimanella hypnoides, also known as moss bell heather or moss heather. H. hypnoides is a cold hardy dicot perennial that produces moss-like cushions, about 5 centimetres (2 inches) high, often of prostrate stems with ascending shoot tips. The leaves are scale-like, looking like those of a moss. Borne singly on short reddish pedicels, the bell-shaped flowers are conspicuous and white with five fused petals and five sepals. In the wild it grows across North America, Labrador, Newfoundland, Nunavut, Quebec and other regions. Plant in well-drained soil in a suitable position. Water during establishment.
