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.
