Canterbury Bells have a rich history dating back to Medieval England, when British gardeners first started incorporating the European wildflower into their gardens. Bellflowers showcase sturdy stems laden heavy with violet cup-shaped petals, and are a favorite supporting flower for mixed bouquets.

    So bummed these didn't work out. More than half germinated but just sort of petered out.

    Canterbury Bells Seeds - Campana Lilac

    Store owner replied: Hello Jeannine. Thank you for sending is this feedback and we understand the disappointment. We are sorry to hear these didn’t perform as expected, especially after a good start with germination. Canterbury bells can be a bit sensitive in early stages and prefer consistent moisture, good drainage, and moderate temperatures, as stress can cause seedlings to stall or decline. We are glad we were able to provide a resolution and appreciate the opportunity to help. We’re always here to support your success in the garden!
