flowers (lat. Campanula) belong to the genus of herbaceous plants of the Campanula family, which includes more than three hundred species growing in places with a temperate climate - in the Caucasus, Western and Central Asia, Europe, Siberia, and also in North America. Bells prefer steppes, meadows, forests, desert areas and rocks. Many species of these flowers grow in alpine and subalpine mountain belts. The Latin name is translated as bell. People call these flowers chenilles, chebotkas and bells.
Planting and caring for bells
- Planting: sowing seeds in open ground - in October or May. Sowing seeds for seedlings - in March, planting seedlings in open ground - at the end of May or at the beginning of June.
- Flowering: at different times - depending on the type and variety.
- Lighting: usually bright sunlight. There are only a few shade-loving species in the genus.
- Soil: any soil, even rocky and calcareous, but best drained loam with a neutral or slightly alkaline reaction.
- Watering: moderate and only in dry seasons.
- Staking: Tall varieties require support.
- Top dressing: on melted snow - with nitrogen fertilizer, during the budding period - with a complete mineral complex.
- Reproduction: annuals - only by seeds, biennials - by seeds and spring cuttings. Perennials can be propagated by parts of the rhizome, root cuttings, stolons, or dividing the bush, but when propagated by seed they do not retain varietal characteristics.
- Pests: slobbering pennies, slugs.
- Diseases: fusarium, botrytis, sclerotinia.

Interesting Facts
- There is an old legend that the plant brings a lot of good luck to the home, and in some countries the flower is considered sacred. Such countries include England, where growing these flowers in homes is a sign of the well-being and longevity of the owners.
- The name of the culture is not without reason: previously the sprouts looked like those bells that most wandering monks wore on their chests.
- The great Russian writer Alexei Nikolaevich Tolstoy wrote a wonderful work about this flower, which is called “My bells, steppe flowers!”
Growing bells from seeds
How to sow seeds
Bluebell seeds do not require preliminary preparation before sowing. They can be sown directly into the ground in May or before winter in October. But if you want them to bloom this year, sow them as seedlings in March.
Since the seeds are very small, they are laid out on the surface of a light, loose, permeable substrate, previously well moistened and consisting of humus, turf soil and coarse sand in a ratio of 3:6:1. There is no need to add fertilizer to the substrate. The seeds are lightly pressed to the ground, sprayed with water from a spray bottle, and then the container is covered with film. Contain crops at a temperature of 18-20 ºC. Shoots may appear in two to three weeks.

Seedling care
As soon as the seeds begin to germinate, move the container to a bright place, protected from direct sunlight, remove the film and care for the bell seedlings as you would any other flower seedlings: water when the top layer of the substrate dries, loosen the soil around the seedlings, and when they turn three weeks and their first leaves will develop, the seedlings dive into a large container at a distance of 10 cm from each other. Two weeks after picking, feed the seedlings with liquid complex fertilizer in low concentration
Useful properties of the plant
Bellflower is not very well known to people for its beneficial properties, but they have a very wide range of uses:
- the plant has antitussive and soothing qualities;
- used as an antirheumatic agent;
- the decoction treats epilepsy in children;
- infusions are used for sore throat, stomatitis, and colds;
- used in the treatment of glaucoma, atherosclerosis, fever, sexually transmitted diseases;
- used to treat skin lesions, erysipelas, lichen;
- used as a wound healing agent for dog and mosquito bites;
- treats hypertension, migraines, cardiovascular system;
- used as an antispasmodic agent for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- helps with gynecological ailments, PMS;
- treats diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system.
Planting bells in open ground
When to plant
Bluebell seedlings are planted in open ground at the end of May or beginning of June. Most of the bells are light-loving, shade-loving species grown in cultivation are literally only a few, and they can be recognized by the dark green color of the leaves. The bell does not like drafts.
As for the soil, some species grow well on rocky soil, some on calcareous soil, but most species prefer neutral or slightly alkaline well-drained loamy soils. Planting bells in the soil is carried out after its preliminary preparation: for deep digging, sand and humus are added to heavy soils, and turf soil and fertilizers are added to poor soils. Do not apply only fresh manure and peat, as this increases the risk of fungal diseases affecting the plants.
How to plant
Bells are planted in open places, away from bushes and trees, so that their roots can receive the necessary amount of moisture and nutrition. Low-growing bells are planted at a distance of 10-15 cm from each other, medium-height bells at a distance of 20-30 cm, and tall ones at an interval of 40-50 cm. After planting, the soil around the flowers is trampled down and watered well.
short
- Carpathian bellflower (C. carpatica) up to 30 cm tall, forms curtains up to 30 cm in diameter. Flowers are on thin stems, single, large, blue or white. In culture since the end of the 18th century.
- Bellflower, or spiral-leaved , (C. cochleariifolia) no more than 15 cm tall. Inflorescences are few-flowered. The flowers are small, drooping, blue or white, there are double forms.

Caring for bluebells in the garden
Growing conditions
Growing bells is no different from growing any other garden flowers - bells are unpretentious. Water them only when prolonged heat and dryness sets in. After watering, it is convenient to loosen the soil around the flowers and remove weeds. Tall bells are tied to a support as necessary. The bells are fed for the first time in the spring, on melted snow, with nitrogen fertilizer. The second fertilizing with complex fertilizer is carried out in the first half of summer, at the beginning of budding. To prolong the flowering of bluebells, promptly remove faded flowers.
Reproduction of bluebells
Annual bells are propagated by seeds, biennials by seeds and spring cuttings. Perennial bells can be propagated by root cuttings, parts of rhizomes, dividing the bush and stolons, since when propagated by seed they do not always retain varietal characteristics. Terry varieties of bells do not set seeds, so they are propagated exclusively by vegetative methods.
Perennial species of bells with a carpal or taproot system are considered vegetatively immobile and reproduce by seeds. Those species that have a short rhizome are considered vegetatively inactive - they are propagated by division and cuttings. Species with long creeping rhizomes, which reproduce both by seeds, division and cuttings, and by rhizome segments and root suckers, are considered vegetatively mobile.
We described the seedling method of propagation to you, but you can sow the seeds in mid-October directly into the ground, where they will undergo natural stratification during the winter months and sprout together in the spring, and all you have to do is plant the seedlings. You can sow seeds in the ground in May, but then they need to be stratified for two months in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator, and since annual bells reproduce well by self-sowing, is it worth complicating your life by stratifying the seeds?
Cuttings of bells are harvested in the spring, in March-April - they are cut from young stem or root shoots, planted in a light, loose substrate and placed under a film dome to create high air humidity. It is best to use a greenhouse and a special fog sprayer for this purpose. Root regrowth of cuttings occurs within three to four weeks.
The division of the bush is carried out in the third to fifth year of the plant’s life, but some species can be divided already in the second year. At the beginning of May or at the end of summer, large bushes are dug up and, having cut the stems, divided into parts with a sharp sterile knife, each of which should have developed roots and renewal buds, after which the sections are treated with crushed coal and the sections are immediately planted in a permanent place.
When propagating by parts of the rhizome, the creeping root of the plant is dug up, divided into parts so that each segment contains renewal buds, and planted in the ground so that the buds are at the level of the soil surface.
Root suckers need to be separated from the mother plant and immediately planted in a permanent place.
Pests and diseases
Blooming bells look very cute, but this is not the only advantage of flowers. They are so unpretentious that planting and caring for a bell is a pleasure and does not require time or effort.
- Features of growing hybrid tea roses
Bells are immune to diseases and pests and are very rarely affected by them, however, when flowers are grown for many years in one place, pathogenic microorganisms - Fusarium, Sclerotinia or Botrytis - accumulate in the soil, which can lead to the death of the plant. To prevent this from happening, treat the bells with a 0.2% solution of Fundazol twice a season, in spring and autumn.
In humid weather, slobbering pennies may appear on the bells, which are expelled with garlic infusion. Low-growing bells can be damaged by slugs, from which the plants are sprayed with a decoction of hot pepper and superphosphate granules are scattered under the flowers.
Annual flowers that are not afraid of heat
And this information will be of interest to my fellow countrymen, residents of Kuban. The summer of 2022 was very hot for us. Other regions complained about the cold summer, but for us it was the opposite. And in my flower beds, in the flower beds of my friends, there was no particular splendor. Some flowers refused to bloom, others had sparse flowers, and others simply survived in extreme heat - it was a pity to look at them.
But there were flowers that were not affected by either the abnormally hot sun or the rare but torrential (in the full sense of the word) rains. But before, I even weeded them out. These were annuals, but they sprouted by self-sowing and did not grow where I needed them. That is, that summer showed that these flowers are very resilient. In the conditions of that summer, they were the only ones that bloomed and smelled profusely.
These are mirabilis, aromatic tobacco and purslane. I will write briefly about each.
Mirabilis
This flower always grew in the flower garden of my grandmother and mother, and I also love it very much. True, as a child I did not know his real name; we all called him Zorka. And it fully lived up to its name. The flowers opened in the evening, stood open all night and only closed in the morning at dawn. We had varieties with bright crimson flowers, but there are also ones with white, yellow, pink and soft salmon petals. I’ve even seen it with flowers of different colors on the same bush. In its homeland it is a perennial; in the conditions of Kuban it may or may not survive the winter, but then in the spring shoots appear in this place, of which only the strongest and healthiest remain. I think that in the conditions of the middle zone this is definitely an annual. By the way, many people grow it at home on the windowsill.
Mirabilis is an unpretentious plant. Apart from evening watering, light loosening, and removing weeds, last year he received nothing from me, but he was almost the main decoration of the garden. Bloomed until the coldest weather. And they arrived almost in December.
Fragrant tobacco
For me, fragrant tobacco is a flower that I “planted and forgot.” It is an annual plant, but every year in the spring new shoots appear in the same place. I just have to stop it from growing all over the garden. But to be honest, I don't try too hard. The flowers of fragrant tobacco are not very noticeable, but in the evenings such an aroma spreads throughout the garden that you don’t want to get rid of the “extra” plants. It also does not require special care. Only seedlings can be “clogged” by weeds, so their removal is necessary at first. Then, when the plant gets stronger, no weeds are afraid of it. Only the fittest and strongest survive the winter. Sometimes in the spring I replant tobacco plants from places where I don’t need it to empty spaces in the flowerbed. As it grows and becomes a fluffy bush, it not only covers a bare spot in the flower garden, but also creates a background for low-growing plants.
Purslane
Purslane is also a flower from my childhood. Every summer I saw him in both my grandmother’s and mother’s flower gardens. We called it “the carpet” because it covered the ground with a bright carpet along the paths in the front garden. It was the purslane that gave the flower garden a certain completeness. What beautiful purslane flowers! There are simple ones, there are double or semi-double ones in a wide variety of colors. Purslane blooms all summer, from June until frost. In the evenings the flowers close, but in the morning they “burn” like multi-colored lights in a flower bed. You can sow purslane only once and, thanks to its abundant self-sowing, it will delight you every year. Loves sunny places, blooms poorly or not at all in the shade. Grows well in sandy soils. But he also likes my black soil. I don’t know how true my observations are, but it seems it’s better not to fertilize purslane. By growing, purslane can even survive weeds. I have never observed weeds in the place where it grows.
When choosing annual flowers for your garden, you can buy seedlings or seeds in flower shops or supermarket departments. Today, the choice of seeding materials is so wide that finding the desired flower is not difficult.
Tall representatives are great for decorating flower beds or mixed borders; in mixed flower beds they usually create the background. When planning the design of the site for the summer season, take into account the combination of sizes (heights) of plants and their color scheme. Flower requirements for soil moisture, lighting, and fertilizers should also be kept in mind. Sometimes plant species with the same name can be both tall and short, medium-sized. When purchasing seeds, read the attached information. Annual flowers that bloom all summer - the name and photo are always on the packaging. Try to ensure that crops that grow next to each other are close from an agrotechnical point of view.
Perennial bells after flowering
How and when to collect seeds
If you want to get seeds of your favorite species, then do not wait for the boxes to open; cut off the inflorescences left for the seeds in advance, as soon as the boxes acquire a brown tint, and ripen them in a ventilated, dry room.
Preparing for winter
Planting and caring for perennial bluebells is no different from growing annual or biennial varieties, except that they need to be prepared for winter. At the end of September or beginning of October, the stems of all bells are cut off at the root. This completes the care of annual flowers. As for biennial and perennial species, many of them overwinter without shelter, but southern species need to be covered with dry leaves or covered with spruce branches. Tall bells are covered with a layer of humus or dry peat 15-20 cm high. This will be enough for perennial bells to survive the winter.
Blooming annual vines
If you put climbing annuals on the fence, you will get an excellent hedge. Photos and names of the most popular climbing annual plants:
- Kobeya. From the beginning of July until the end of the summer season, large flowers bloom in white, yellow, blue, and purple shades;
- Kvamoklit has delicate greenery and bright red flowers of medium size. An excellent option for a hedge;
- Farbitis (Ipomoea). The wealth of colors covers almost the entire color spectrum. Thick leaves form a continuous shield that can protect from prying eyes. Morning glory is a poisonous plant.
The plants listed are only a small part of the opportunities that annuals provide gardeners. Depending on the characteristics of each species, annuals are grown either by seedlings or by planting seeds directly into the ground. The seeds of many annual flowers can be collected after flowering for planting the following season.
