For this year's flowering, the bells should be rushed in the apartment in March at a temperature of approx. 20 ° C and planted in the ground in May, or sown from May to June directly for the bed.Then we cover the moist substrate with a fleece, which we keep on the ground until the plants emerge (2-3 weeks).
