Plants rise up, as captured by Dutch artist (9)

I believe the answer is:

harebells

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'plants' is the definition.
(harebell is a kind of plant)

'rise up as captured by dutch artist' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'rise' could be 'rebel' (synonyms) and 'rebel' is present in the answer.
'artist' could be 'hals' (I've seen this before) and 'hals' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for harebells that I've seen before include "Flowers" , "Wild type of bloomers" .)
