Champion II Pink Pelleted (F1) Campanula Seed
About this variety
A rosy pink Canterbury bell for cutting.
Champion II Pink has rosy pink bells.
Canterbury bells fill the late-spring and early-summer gap between spring flowers and summer annuals, adding sturdy stems, bulk and structure to bouquets. The Champion series was bred for upward-facing bells and very even plants. Started early enough, plants flower in their first season. Also called bellflower.
Flowers about 120–150 days from sowing, on plants 30–40" tall. Pelleted seed with a conventional coating (not NOP-compliant). F1 hybrid.

Quick Facts
Growing times vary with weather, soil and local conditions.
Growing guide
From seed to harvestLight, thin cover
A dusting of vermiculite keeps pellets moist.
Choose a spacing
4–6" for single stems, 10–12" for branched plants; support them.
Cut at 2–3 open
Keep stems upright after cutting.
Growing Information
Days to germination
About 7–14 days at 65–68°F (18–20°C).
Starting indoors
The only recommended method. Sow into 128-cell trays or similar 6–8 weeks before planting out. The seed needs light, but a very thin layer of vermiculite or mix over it keeps it moist and helps dissolve the pellet. Water from below or mist gently.
Timing
Start plants in fall, winter or early spring. Canterbury bells respond to day length: seedlings need short days to build stem length and leaves before long days trigger flowering. Fall-sown plants wintered in an unheated tunnel bloom in early summer on the tallest plants; winter sowings bloom a little later on shorter plants.
Light
Full sun; tolerates part shade.
Plant spacing
For single stems, 4–6"; for branched plants, 10–12". Netting or other support is recommended. Single-stem crops finish faster and suit greenhouses; branched plants, at roughly 8–10 stems each, suit the field where space is less tight.
Hardiness
Annual.
Harvest
Cut when 2–3 of the lower flowers on a stem are open, and keep stems upright so they do not bend.
Soil
Free-draining soil rich in organic matter, ideally pH 5.8–6.2.
Uses
A long-lasting cut flower.
