Excellent source of nectar or pollen, they attract honey bees and butterflies. Old-fashioned but lovely, Canterbury Bells are well-suited to perennial borders and cottage gardens.

  • Thrives in full sun or part shade, in fertile, moist, well-drained soils. This plant tolerates a wide range of soil types if well-drained
  • Ideal for beds, borders, underplanting shrubs or roses, cottage gardens, or containers. Plant in groups for the best visual impact.
  • Easy to grow, this low-care perennial is also deer and rabbit-resistant and adored by hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees.
  • Watch for snails and slugs, powdery mildew, and rust diseases.
  • Do not cut back after flowering if self-seeding is desired. However, removing the spent flower spikes may encourage a second flush of flowers.
  • Easily divided in spring or fall.
  • Propagate by seed. Surface sow seeds from late spring to early summer. In milder areas sow directly in the fall
