This tender Campanella is flowers and music ...

Nature has endowed us with great happiness: to see all the beauty and brightness of the world, to smell the rain, frost, earth, grass and, of course, to inhale the delightful fragrance of flowers. Flowers are the most beautiful creatures, delicate, pretentious or refined in their simplicity, they make us think about the beautiful and the sad, because human life is just as short-lived as the beauty of the petals that live very shortly and withering in a couple of days. They can say for us something about which the heart is silent. They are free, but ... they are slaves of their beauty and human desire for beauty. Today we are talking about the representative of the flower kingdom - Campanella.

It is desirable to grow on light, loose and soft ground. Plant bells on the sunny warm side, protect from the wind and cover for the winter.
