Nature endowed us with great happiness: to see all the beauty and brightness of the world, to smell the rain, frost, earth, grass and, of course, to breathe in the delicious aroma of flowers. Flowers are the most beautiful creations, delicate, artsy or exquisite in their simplicity, they make us think about the beautiful and the sad, because human life is just as short-lived as the beauty of the petals that live very briefly and fade after a couple of days. They can say for us what the heart is silent about. They are free, but ... they are slaves to their beauty and human desire for beauty. Today we will talk about the representative of the flower kingdom - Campanella.
Campanella: flowers and more
Campanella is not only a flower, but also the name of a philosopher of the Enlightenment, and even a musical genre that uses the ringing of bells. And Campanella - flowers (photo below) of the Bellflower family. Campanella is sometimes called campanula. Campanella - the flowers are very delicate, pleasing to any grower. You can grow them both in the garden and in the pot: they are great for living on the windowsill. If you want to decorate the garden flowerbed with bells, then this is a wonderful idea: they will make friends with mallow and cloves.

Campanella flowers. Bell care
Basically, these flowers are unpretentious, but there are some nuances. Campanulas grown on a flowerbed prefer lime-mixed soil - the soil should not be acidic. It is advisable to grow on light, loose and soft soil. Plant bells on the sunny warm side, protect from the wind and shelter for the winter. Water regularly, but do not over-moisten, otherwise the plant will die, feed it once every one and a half to two months, and give support to tall plants. The following flowers should be created for the same flowers growing at home: a lot of light and moderate watering (the soil is always slightly moist). In winter, flowers can be taken out to the balcony (up to fifteen degrees). Enjoy the bell ringing in the air! Peace to your home!
