Tall, stately spires of large, bell-shaped flowers — each bloom sitting in a distinctive flat, saucer-like calyx that gives the plant its charming alternative name — rise to around 80 cm in a beautiful range of soft purples, pinks, blues, and whites. A true cottage garden staple with an old-fashioned elegance that looks equally at home in a border or a vase. Sow this season and look forward to a spectacular display next summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Gardeners Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔔 \u003cstrong\u003eDistinctive cup-and-saucer blooms\u003c\/strong\u003e — large, bell-shaped flowers nestled in a flat calyx, unlike anything else in the garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌸 \u003cstrong\u003eBeautiful colour range\u003c\/strong\u003e — soft purples, pinks, blues, and whites for a classic cottage garden palette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📏 \u003cstrong\u003eGrows to 80 cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e — a striking mid-to-back-of-border plant with real presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✂️ \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent cut flower\u003c\/strong\u003e — long stems and a beautiful vase life, stunning in mixed cottage arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐝 \u003cstrong\u003eLoved by pollinators\u003c\/strong\u003e — bees are strongly attracted to the open bell flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eEasy to grow from seed\u003c\/strong\u003e — reliable and rewarding with a little patience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Tips for New Zealand\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCampanula medium is a biennial, meaning it grows leafy rosettes in its first year and flowers magnificently in its second. Sow seeds in late spring or summer into seed-raising mix — seeds are tiny so sow on the surface and do not cover. Keep moist in a bright, sheltered position. Transplant seedlings to 30–40 cm apart in a sunny to partly shaded position with fertile, well-drained soil. Plants will overwinter as rosettes and burst into flower the following summer. Performs beautifully throughout New Zealand. Once established, Canterbury Bells will often self-seed gently to continue the display year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e20 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Canterbury Bells \/ Cup and Saucer (\u003cem\u003eCampanula medium\u003c\/em\u003e), a mix of colours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45357075628101,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_380af1f5-44fe-4fe4-b1cc-4829d6dcf2cf.png?v=1784155330","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/canterbury-bells-seeds-campanula-medium","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
