Foamy Bells Care Must-Knows
Foamy bells grow best in humus-rich, well-drained soil with regular moisture. In northern regions, foamy bells grow well in full sun. In the heat of the South they benefit from afternoon shade. Dry sites and too much sunlight result in leaf scorch and foliage decline. Choose a part-shade planting site in hot climates. Plant foamy bells in spring or early summer. Water plants deeply after planting and continue to water regularly throughout the growing season. Blanket the ground around plants with a 2-inch-thick layer of shredded bark mulch to prevent soil-moisture loss. Consistent moisture is essential if foamy bells is planted in full sun. Water such plants at least once a week and more frequently during dry spells. After plants bloom in early summer, remove flower stalks at the base of the plant to encourage another round of flowering. In cold climates, cover plants with a thick layer of mulch in winter for protection from extreme temperatures, which may cause root heaving. Divide plants as needed every three or four years in spring.
