Adding one flower to your garden can create dreamy ‘fairytale’ vibe

A garden enthusiast has shared how you turn your garden into a garden fit for fairies by planting one specific plant.

Fairycore has been a new trend that’s come from social media, which involves taking inspiration from fairy tales, folklore, and the natural world when decorating or dressing yourself.

As the summer is approaching and it’s time to prepare your garden, people are incorporating ‘fairycore’ into their gardens to create an area that looks like it belongs to a fairy.

One of these peopLe is John, who is known from his TikTok account ‘Johns Plant Adventures’, who is a flower curator that has amassed over 90.8 thousand followers by sharing snippets from his fairytale-like garden. In one video, he shared what he believed was the ultimate ‘fairy flower’ to add to your garden.

“Let me introduce you to one of the cutest fairy flowers,” he said in the video that has gained over 1.5 million views. “This is Campannula, aka Balloon flower, aka Canterbury bell. They make the cutest bell-shaped flowers that are the most adorable thing. They look like little teacups in my opinion.”

Known in the UK as Campannula Bellflowers, John explained: “After a rainstorm, the balloon flowers will fill up with water and you can dump them out like little water cups. Especially if you have kids, they would absolutely love this flower.”

He went on to explain that there are different versions of the flower, both perennial and annual versions. There are also different colour variants of the flower.

“I absolutely love the pink, this one’s called Appeal Pink, and it’s a dwarf variety that does super well in our container garden,” he said.

Showing off his curating skills, he showed off his flower showstopper in his garden, which included the Campannulas surrounded by different types of flowers.

“We have them paired with this gorgeous Alyssum right here, some dwarf twinny peach snapdragons, ranunculus, there’s delphiniums behind there, and then petunias on her side,” he explained.

“Champion is another great variety if you want a taller one for your cut flower garden,” John added.

People were quick to take to the comments to share their awe of the flower, which one person happily exclaiming: “YALL THESE ARENT TOXIC FOR CATS IMA CRY TEARS OF JOY.”

“I was so sad because Campanula is invasive in Canada. But apparently Campanula medium is NOT. Hooray!” a second person said, while a third person said: “oH to be a tiny fairy drinking morning dew out of this flower.”
