Adding A Blue Bell Flower To Your Plantings

Adding a Blue Bell Flower to your gardening plan can add interest and color to your yard. .

Flowers come in every shade of blue and purple that can be planted to enhance your garden. Blue flowers go with all other colored flowers so spread them around in your garden for an interesting effect.

When planting your Blue Bell Flower it is wise to follow the instructions for planting and maintaining the flowers. Not all plants love to be in the sun so it is vital that you buy plants that will grow under the conditions particular to your garden. A sun loving plant that is expected to grow in the shade will only turn out to be a disappointment.

Be sure that you fertilize and water your Blue Bell Flower according to the directions that came with the flower which will help it grow to a full and healthy plant. Pinching off the dead flowers will help your plant to grow fuller.

Other things to consider when planting your Blue Bell Flower plant include:

  • Bloom Time – what timeframe the plant will flower in – planting flowers in the same areas that have different blooming times will insure a succession of blooms throughout the growing season.
  • Height – plant taller flowers in back and shorter ones in front to give your garden a more cultured look
