I purchased some Bellflower seeds. The package says they will grow a
foot
high and bloom all summer. However, the package says they bloom the 2nd
year. Does this mean they bloom every other year? Or that they won't
bloom
the first year they are planted. Does this mean the plant should not be
cut
off in the fall? I've only been gardening for 3 years, so any help would
be
greatly appreciated.

I grow several different bellflowers. None bloomed the first year, just
formed
a rosette of foliage. With the exception of Canterbury Bells, they have
bloomed
each year since. The Canterbury Bells are biennials, but readily reseed
themselves. With deadheading, they all bloom into fall. I cut them back
after
the first frost. Here is a little information on bellflowers:
