Canterbury Bells – A Cottage Garden Classic Description

Canterbury Bells - A Cottage Garden Classic

Create a touch of Victorian elegance in your garden with Canterbury Bells. These enchanting flowers bloom in soft shades of blue, pink, white, and purple, forming stunning vertical clusters that can reach 2-3 feet tall.

As a biennial, they grow lush foliage in their first year, followed by a spectacular floral display in their second summer. Perfect for cottage-style gardens, wildflower meadows, or mixed borders, Canterbury Bells thrive in well-drained soil and enjoy full sun to partial shade, especially in cooler climates.

Their name dates back to medieval times when pilgrims journeying to Canterbury Cathedral carried small handbells-hence, the name "Canterbury Bells." These flowers remain a symbol of faith and remembrance and have been cherished by gardeners for centuries.

Each tall stem bears dozens of bell-like blooms, making them a superb choice for cut flowers and a magnet for bees and butterflies. Plant them in groups for maximum impact and allow a few to self-seed naturally to enjoy continuous displays year after year.

Every packet contains approximately 1,375 seeds, visually inspected before dispatch to ensure quality.
