Wherever you grow it, Lapageria plant care takes a little bit of work. The plant prefers soil that is well draining but never dry, which means you may have to water it every day. The plant grows best in full to partial shade, making a great addition to shade gardens. The plant should blossom between July and December.

How do you grow Bellflower?
They require full sun for best flower production, and well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Once established, bellflower plants can tolerate periods of drought. Soil conditions for growing bellflowers can be any pH range, including highly acidic.
How do you propagate Lapageria?
The Lapageria cannot be struck from cuttings. Stephen says, "They can be raised from seed, but will require cross pollination and the seed must be sown fresh".
How do you grow Chilean bellflower from seed?
Place the seeds in a small, sealed, plastic or glass container, and fill it with a few ounces (100-200mL) water. Place them in a refrigerator that doesn't freeze (inside the door is usually the warmest part). Mark your calendar to change the water once a week, and remove them after 6 weeks.
What is the national flower of Chile?
Lapageria is a genus of flowering plants with only one known species, Lapageria rosea, commonly known as Chilean bellflower or copihue (co-pee-way < Mapudungun kopiwe). Lapageria rosea is the national flower of Chile.
Does Campanula come back every year?
This erect, tall growing species is a short-lived perennial or biennial. Best grown from seed each year, Campanula pyramidalis thrives in moist, well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. A fantastic choice for dramatic cut flowers.
Can you grow Campanula in pots?
These campanula can be quite small or low growing – 5-30cm (2in-1ft) – so are ideal to grow in shallow containers or at the front of a sharply drained border.
Where do Copihues grow?
Lapageria rosea plants, also frequently called Chilean bellflowers, are native to the coastal regions of Chile. It is the national flower of Chile and named after Empress Josephine Lapagerie, wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. It can't be grown just anywhere, though, and takes some special care to flourish.
How do you grow Lapageria rosea from seed?
It will be happiest in fertile, moist well-drained, humus-rich soil, or ericaceous compost with added sharp sand indoors under filtered light. Lapageria seeds can be sown all year round in a shady position, germination typically takes 40 to 60 days at a temperature of 65F.
