Yellow Bells thrives in full sun to part shade and is remarkably easy to grow once established, tolerating heat and poor soils with minimal fuss. Water regularly during the first season to establish roots, then reduce frequency as the plant becomes more self-sufficient. Prune lightly after flowering to encourage bushier growth and a second flush of bright yellow blooms.
