Rover Bellflower Care

Like every other plant, the bell flower requires regular watering. High bell flowers should be watered more often. The bell flower requires especially within the main growth period as well as the flowering period a sufficient amount of water, the soil should furthermore be kept moist. It is of prime concern to ensure that no soil wetness at the roots occurs in order to prevent rot, e.g. by placing drainage in the bed or in the case of buckets or flower pots a trivet.

The cutting of bell flower is possible, but not necessary. Provided that the plants in for instance a bucket reach unforeseen heights, some shoots can be removed.

By adding standard fertilizer, the bell flower can be strengthened in its structure and the flowering process. Depending on the size and the growth rate, the plants are being fertilized every two weeks or once a month.

Perennial bell flowers flourish outside and nearly every location which is airy and bright. The plants are, depending on the variety, happy with a sunny or half-shady spot.

Bell flowers require, depending on the variety, soil which is more or less moist. Many bell flowers accept a loosened ground which is low in clay and humus. Ordinary planting soil can be used for indoor plants. Important in this case is a proper drainage in order to avoid water logging at the roots.

As the bell flower is frost-sensitive, it is recommended to get them inside and put them in a cool spot at the beginning of September for the purpose of hibernation. The temperature should lie around 10°C, as otherwise they will sprout too early when it’s warm.
