Bell flower drawing will be described in this article! The Latin name of the genus Campanula from the family Campanuloideae means the same as in Latin- “Bell.” The shape of the flower speaks for itself. The genus unites 440 species of perennial and rarely annual plants, of which about 40 are used in ornamental horticulture.
Listen to the name “Bell” – and hear the cheerful chime. There is an old belief that forest bells also ring on the night of mystery when the fern blooms. A rustic garden and gardens in the natural style without bells are unthinkable. They make any flower bed charming. Tall and medium-growing species are suitable for planting in groups in flowerbeds, rabbets, and mixboards along the edge of lawns.
Ground cover low-growing bells can be planted on alpine slides, in rockeries, and retaining walls. Many species can be grown in containers and pots, among them indoor plants, such as a universal favorite – bellflower equal-leaved (Campanula isophylla).
Bellflower drawing is an exciting and fun activity, and the main thing is to follow our recommendations! Bells are cold tones in the garden palette; for flower beds in the regular style, it is recommended to choose species and varieties with light-colored flowers. Dark-flowered bells are good for framing beds composed of warm and intense tones. It should be noted that the flowers of the bells change color depending on the lighting.
Most bells are suitable for cutting—country-style bouquets, floral compositions, and herbarium paintings. Inflorescences cut at the beginning of flower blooming can be kept in a vase for two weeks or even longer.
Garden bells bloom in June – July and for a long time – up to 40 days. Bundle bell (Campanula glomerata), Carpathian bell (Campanula carpatica), and spoon bell (Campanula cochleariifolia) bloom all summer. At the end of July – August, equal-leaved bell (Campanula pyramidalis), pyramidal bell (Campanula pyramidalis), bent bell (Campanula incurva), Formanek’s bell (Campanula formanekiana) bloom.
On average, perennial bells live 6 – 8 years, but some species—milk bell (Campanula lactiflora) and Vidal’s bell (Campanula vidalii)—can grow in one place for 20 years or more.
