How To Grow Bells of Ireland
Bells of Ireland only need average care to stay growing beautiful and healthy through their entire life. Below is a list of things that should be done regularly and some things that can be done to keep the flowers looking and growing their best!
- Bells of Ireland like moist soil,http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/84/ but shouldn't be over watered. If you water them too much, the soil can become soggy and cause problems.
- These flowers deadhead themselves so that isn't required.
- They will reseed themselves which can make them come back next year. To keep this from happening, be sure to remove any seedpods before they have a time to open and drop the seed.http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/84/.
- If you live in an area that has high winds, it would be best to steak this flower up. Because it is tall but fragile, wind will knock it over and possibly break the plant off.http://thegardenersrake.com/how-to-grow-bells-of-ireland-annual-flower
- Bells of Ireland only blooms once. Once those flowers are spent, the plant will go to seed and then die.http://flowergardens.suite101.com/article.cfm/bells-of-ireland-flowers
- If you are planning on harvesting the seeds to start new plants next year, allow them to dry out on the plant before removing them.http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/84/ This will ensure they are fully grown.
