How do you take care of bluebell flowers?
Bluebell flowers tolerate moderate to dry soil. Water the bluebells after planting and every couple of days the first month to stimulate the roots to take hold. Maintaining the bluebells after that involves making sure the plants get around 1 inch of water a week. This can be rain water or water from your garden hose.
How do bluebells grow in the desert?
Site these beauties in a full sun location. They need well-draining soil, either coarse or sandy. Act in late summer or early fall, sprinkling seeds on top of the soil to give them the light they require to grow. Before you start growing desert bluebells, you'll want to know their mature size.
How do you encourage bluebells to spread?
