The splendor of the magic bells' flowers is almost overwhelming. The shoots, which overhang like a waterfall, are filled with countless flowers that appear for many months. How can this flowering genius be combined with other plants?
Which plants can I combine magic bells with?
Magic bells can be combined well with snapdragons, pennisetum, daisies, lady's mantle and Patagonian verbena in the bed. In the balcony box or pot they harmonize with hanging petunias, verbena, geraniums, fairy mirrors, vanilla flowers, men's faithful and lantana.
What factors should you consider when combining magic bells?
In order to truly grasp the magic of the magic bells, the companion plants should be chosen wisely. To do this, it is advisable to consider the following factors:
- Flower color: yellow, red, violet, pink, white or orange
- Flowering time: May to October
- Location requirements: sunny, loose, nutrient-rich and permeable soil
- Growth height: up to 60 cm
The wide range of flower colors leaves nothing to be desired. When combining, focus on the respective flower color of your magic bell and try to create a pleasant overall picture.
In order to bloom tirelessly, magic bells need a sunny location on a nutrient-rich substrate. Therefore, it is best to choose companion plants that have similar requirements.
Furthermore, you should make it a point to choose planting partners with similar location requirements and take the growth height of the magic bells into account when combining them.
Combine magic bells in the bed
If you want to plant magic bells in the bed, you can use them there as ground cover. They are guaranteed to provide bright splashes of color in the perennial bed. If you put different colored magic bells in the bed, it is recommended to surround them with simpler plants. These include, for example, ornamental grasses and ornamental foliage perennials. You can combine monochrome constellations of magic bells with numerous other flowering perennials.
In the bed, magic bells harmonize with, among other things:
- Snapdragons
- Pennisetum grass
- Daisies
- Patagonian Verbena
- woman's coat
Combine magic bells with snapdragons
Low varieties of snapdragons go wonderfully with the magic bells. They also bloom in summer and have similar location requirements as the magic bells. How about, for example, a composition of yellow snapdragons and red or purple magic bells? This causes a lot of attention.
Combine magic bells in the balcony box or pot
Magic bells are even more popular on balconies and terraces than in beds, when they can beautify a box, pot or even a hanging basket. The magic bells look particularly attractive when they can throw over their colorful flower curtain and interact with other flower-rich plants.

Combine magic bells with hanging petunias
Hanging petunias look almost identical to magic bells. However, they not only match them visually, but also have similar preferences in terms of location. Go wild by putting together colorful mixtures or combine the two plants stylishly and elegantly by choosing similar colors.
Combine magic bells with elf mirror
The elf mirror is also a fantastic companion for the magic bell. The two produce an abundance of flowers all summer long. They also like a sunny location and nutrient-rich soil. A combination of deep purple magic bells and purple fairy mirrors looks absolutely romantic. However, it is better to place the elf mirror in front of the magic bell, as its flowers are finer.
