Campanula medium, common name Canterbury bells, is an annual or biennial flowering plant of the genus Campanula, belonging to the family Campanulaceae. In floriography, it represents gratitude, or faith and constancy. Campanula medium originates in southern Europe. It is naturalized in most of European countries and in North America and it is widely cultivated for its beautiful flowers.
One of the prettiest blues for cut flowers, Cantebury Bells are an old- fashioned favourite of experienced gardeners because they flower through mid-summer and are spectacular in a mixed border.
Here, they are seen amongst hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, argyranthemums and limoniums.

ReplyDeleteI have never grown Canterbury Bells, and thinking about it, I don't think I've ever seen them!
