watering
Marsh bellflower should be watered regularly, approximately every 1-2 weeks, depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment. In summer, when temperatures are higher, the plant may need water more frequently. Check the soil frequently to see if it is still moist. If it feels dry to the touch, then it's time to water. Soak the soil deeply – once or twice weekly is often sufficient. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
sunlight
Marsh bellflower prefers full sun, but it can tolerate part sun. It needs at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to perform its best. This plant thrives in moist, well-drained soil and can handle wet soils in areas with plenty of rainfall. It prefers cooler temperatures with moderate humidity levels, so avoid areas that get too hot during summer months. This species does not tolerate full shade, so provide a spot with full sun to get the best results.
pruning
Marsh Bellflower should be pruned in late winter or early spring before the new growth begins. To prune Marsh Bellflower, carefully cut off any dead or damaged stems first. After that, it is beneficial to prune back the stems by 1/3 to 1/2 of their original length. This will encourage the plants to produce more compact foliage and flowers. If pruning is not done regularly, it can become leggy and sparse and become less attractive.
