watering
Large-flowered bellwort (Uvularia grandiflora) should be watered regularly and moderately. During its active growing season (early spring to late summer), this plant prefers to stay moderately moist. This means you should water it when the soil feels dry 1-2 inches below the surface. Water deeply to saturate the soil," then allow the soil to dry slightly before the next watering. Reduce watering frequency during cooler, winter months.
sunlight
Large-flowered bellwort (Uvularia grandiflora) is a shade-loving plant species and therefore requires minimal sunlight in order for it to flourish. While it is able to tolerate some direct sunshine, this should be limited to the early morning hours when the sun's rays are less intense. It should receive no more than 2 to 3 hours of direct sunlight each day, ideally in the form of dappled or indirect light. The rest of the time, this species should be kept in areas of shade or partial shade.
pruning
Large-flowered bellwort (Uvularia grandiflora) should be pruned twice a year, in early spring and late summer. Pruning in early spring encourages shoots and helps control the size of the plant, while pruning in late summer reduces its size and shape and keeps its size in check. For optimum plant health and size, the large-flowered bellwort should be pruned to a height of 12-18 inches and a spread of 1-2 feet. Prune as much or as little as you need to maintain the desired shape and size. Remember that pruning too much can limit the flowering capabilities of the plant, so be sure not to overcut it.
