Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Chimney Bellflower regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the growing season.
Reduce watering in fall and winter to prevent root rot.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming and prevent self-seeding. After flowering, you can cut back the main flowering stems to encourage basal growth or remove them entirely if the plant appears woody.
Light pruning can also maintain shape.
Chimney Bellflower can be propagated by seed sown in spring, either indoors or directly outdoors after the last frost. Division of established clumps in spring or fall is another effective method for increasing your plant stock.
Repot Chimney Bellflower every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Spring is the ideal time to repot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, using a well-draining potting mix.
