Napoleon's Bell

Napoleons Bell (Lapageria) - A beautiful climber usually grown in the greenhouse, but hardy and flowering well in the open air in Cornwall and the south of Ireland; with care it would be found to do over a larger area round the coast. It forms a lovely picture at Caerhays, trained on a north-west wall, and flowers quite freely. Often at Christmas and onwards through the winter and spring it comes out beautifully; the rose and white and other forms have been tried, as well as the original form. Soil should be peaty with plenty of sand and leaf-mould. The great enemy of the plant is the slug, which destroys the young growths. The plant may be nailed direct to a wall, or planted among choice shrubs to take its own way as a climber, and it might be well to try it in various aspects, as the conditions that suit it in the extreme south of England may not do so in all parts.
