Bellbushes thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade, with a resilience for varied light conditions. Water needs are moderate, requiring consistent moisture but not oversaturation. Planting involves spacing shrubs to allow ample growth, digging holes twice the root ball's width, and incorporating organic matter into the soil. Post-planting, water deeply and mulch to retain soil moisture. Adapt planting technique slightly depending on the species' particular requirements.
