Unbelievable even to hear such that you can plant a plant in the garden that can grow and bloom even without regular watering. These are not hydrangeas that drop their leaves at the first opportunity. Meet the Chilean bell “Nolan”.

Features of the variety

The main advantage and feature of the plant is that it is resistant to the conditions in which it grows. And the Chilean bells are beautiful and attractive. They require minimal care.

Chilean bells, although simple, are expressive. The bells are about 5 cm in diameter. Nolana builds up green mass well. Perfect for growing in pots and as a ground cover plant. One seedling is able to cover the ground around it with flowers up to 70-90 cm in diameter.

The peculiarity of Chilean bells is their resistance to arid conditions. It begins to bloom in the first warm days, so it should be planted in sunny areas. It is not necessary to water often and regularly. Nolan doesn't like it, just like stagnant water. The soil should dry out, and then you can water it.

Regarding decorativeness. Be prepared for the fact that you will admire the bright colors only in the first half of the day. Nolana closes after lunch. However, this is offset by long flowering, which can last until late autumn.
