bell shaped flowers add beauty to your garden

 12 bell-shaped flowers 



Looking for bell-shaped flowers to brighten up your flower garden? If so, in this article you will learn about the wide range of bell-shaped flowers that you can grow. However, before we get started, let's take a quick look at some reasons you might want to grow beautiful bell-shaped flowers. They are majestic. A few bell-shaped flowers with drooping curled stems and a straight shape of a bell are visually pleasing. Unlike other flowers, they offer a variety of textures and shapes. To make your garden beds more interesting, mix them with different types of flowers. They are available in various colors. Given the range of colors, there's something to complement every part of your landscape.


1. Bluebells



Perennial "bluebells" are known by their scientific name Hyacinthoids non-scripta. These flowers are also known as "common hyacinths", "English hyacinths" and "tree hyacinths". Bluebells have beautiful bell-shaped purple flowers that droop from curved stems. They grow to about 10 inches tall.


2. Coral Bells


A genus of plants called coral beads or "alumroot" belongs to the genus Heuchera. There are about 37 species in this genus, and there are a variety of beautiful cultivars that you may want to consider for your garden. These perennials produce flowers in various colors, including white, amber, and purple. In late spring or early summer, panicles of small flowers develop from plants on stiff, wiry stems. Flowers make wonderful bouquet fillers when cut.


3. Lily Of The Valley



Another traditional bell-shaped flower to include in your garden is the lily of the valley. Its scientific name is Convallaria majalis. Although "lily of the valley" is the most commonly known name, you may also find the terms "Mary Bells", "Mary's Tears" or "Our Lady's Tears". Glowwort and Apollinaris are two names now mostly extinct.


4. Virginia Bluebells


The Virginia bluebell looks just like normal bluebells and if you like those flowers, it will appeal to you. Although the name and appearance are similar, this plant is unrelated. Its scientific name is Mertensia virginica. Virginia bluebells are also known as lungwort oyster leaf, Roanoke bells, and Virginia cowslip. The plant has gray-green leaves and can grow up to 24 inches tall. Buds are pink when they first grow. However, when the flowers swell, they turn purple (usually; rarely, you can get them white or pink).


5. Foxgloves



The genus Digitalis contains about 20 species of these perennial and biennial plants. Each foxglove plant produces a tall spike covered in tubular flowers. Most fox gloves are purple or pink, but there are some white and yellow varieties. Foxglove has medicinal uses but is highly toxic and dangerous.


6. Guinea Hen Flowers


Guinea fowl flowers, scientifically known as Fritillaria meliagris, are related to Persian lilies. Apart from these, this flower is also known as "Chess Flower", "Leper Lily", "Check Lily", "Frog Cup" and "Snake's Head Active". Guinea fowl flowers appear singly or in pairs in mid-April at the tips of tender, tall, curved stems that rise above the leaves. Nodding flowers are six-pointed flowers and about 2″ long. In shades of maroon, dark purple, red-purple, and/or muddy pink, each square shoulder bead has a distinct but contrasting checkered or mosaic pattern.


7. Angel's Trumpet



Do you live in a warm, tropical area? If so, you may want to consider trying to grow angel trumpets. Unlike most flowers on this list, these flowers grow on shrubs or trees. There are a total of seven species in the genus Brugmansia. The enormous, trumpet-shaped flowers can grow up to 24″ long and come in a stunning range of colors. This plant can grow anywhere from 15 to 20 feet wide and 30 feet tall, so you'll need plenty of space.

A successful small garden requires a big idea

You can let a large garden develop. And by 'large' I mean a garden more than 80 feet (25 m) long. All of the most successful small gardens I've seen lately have a strong idea behind them. In a small space, you can see everything at once, so it's important that everything looks good together. This principle applies regardless of shape, although many small gardens are wider than they are long. See here for general tips on the Shallow Wide Garden . Here are three successful small space garden ideas to inspire you. A plant-lover's garden After visiting Philip Ostenbring's garden (open once a year for NGS), I realized that a small outdoor space for unusual plants is a wonderful display area. There is no need to plant in a small space, in threes or in drifts, as the plants are very close to you. Each model looks great in a courtyard, terrace or patio garden. Whereas if you dot a variety of single plants around a large garden, everything can look out of p

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid
