Campanula medium - Deep Blue Canterbury Bells

Holy Canterbury Bells, this is a cottage garden classic for a reason. Campanula medium ‘Deep Blue Canterbury Bells’ produces big, flaring, deep blue-purple bell flowers that face outward on strong upright stems, creating a knock-your-socks-off spring to early summer display in borders, cutting gardens, and old-fashioned flower beds.

Also known as bellflower, this beloved biennial brings romantic vertical interest and rich color to sunny or lightly shaded plantings. The large bells are fabulous for bouquets and look especially beautiful with foxgloves, roses, sweet peas, larkspur, poppies, snapdragons, and airy annuals. Plant in groups for the fullest effect, and enjoy the way those dramatic blue bells seem to float above fresh green foliage.

Plant Campanula medium ‘Deep Blue Canterbury Bells’ in full sun to part shade with rich, well-drained soil and regular water. Let some plants set seed if you want future generations. Elegant, nostalgic, and wonderfully showy, it is pure cottage garden theater. Explore more charming bellflowers in our Campanula - Bellflowers collection.
