Campanula medium
Bellflower, Calycanthema
Variety already tested by sowing and the effect has been spectacular! The flowers make a beautiful impression in the flowerbeds and even come back the following year. Even if the mother plant dies afterwards, spontaneous sowings are then possible.

Description
Campanula medium or Canterbury Bells are a real cottage garden favourite. This sturdy, floriferous biennial is rather slow growing, but is well worth the wait! In spring and early summer, it displays large double bell-shaped blooms on erect stems in harmonious shades of white, pink, blue or purple. Grown en masse, it creates very romantic drifts of colour and is beautiful in flower arrangements. Grow in the sun or half-shade, in rich, cool, well-drained soil.
Campanula medium is a herbaceous plant of the Campanulaceae family, native to southern Europe. This seed mix brings together several double-flowered cultivars in various shades. In the first year, the plants form basal rosettes of lanceolate green leaves. The following year, from spring to early summer, strong 80 cm tall stems emerge, bearing large bell-shaped flowers (3 to 6 cm long). Colours range from white to pink, blue and purple. They are enclosed in large, prominent green chalices. Pollinated flowers give way to capsules, filled with small seeds that self-seed easily in the right conditions.
Canterbury Bells are without a doubt one of the prettiest bellflowers. They look marvellous in flower beds, borders, or dappled woodland scenes and adapt very well to seaside gardens. For a romantic effect, try combining them with late blooming tulips, peonies and old-fashioned roses. They can also be grown in large pots or containers and overwintered in the greenhouse.

Planting and care
Sow in late spring/early summer in well-prepared, rich, deep, loose soil. Sow in furrows, 6 mm deep, 15 cm apart. As soon as the seedlings are big enough to be handled (approximately 15 cm tall), transplant them to their definitive position. If possible, choose a shady spot. Add a good shovelful of compost in each planting hole. Space your plants 40 cm apart. Flowering will take place during the second year.
Remove spent flowers regularly for tidier plants and to encourage fresh blooms.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
