Campanula Champion White

Campanula spp. / Campanula

WhiteLineHerbaceous Perennial

Campanula medium ‘Champion White’ is a professional cut-flower Canterbury bells selection in the Champion series, grown for upright stems carrying large, pure white, bell-shaped flowers with a clean cottage-garden look. Unlike older Canterbury bells that behave as biennials and often need a long juvenile period, the Champion series was bred for annual cut-flower production under managed temperatures and photoperiod. For a flower farm, it is best treated as a cool-season, high-value spike and line flower for late winter, spring, and early-summer production in mild climates or protected structures. It is not a rugged heat crop; quality is highest when plants establish cool, grow steadily, receive support, and are harvested just as the lower bells begin to open.

Campanula Campana Lilac cut flower

Campanula Campana Lilac

Purple / Line

Campanula Campana Lilac is a professional cut-flower cultivar of Campanula medium, commonly sold as bellflower or Canterbury bells. It is grown for upright stems carrying large, open, bell-shaped lilac flowers above rounded green foliage. The Campana series is positioned as a low-energy, seed-raised cut-flower series suitable for programmed cool-season, winter, spring, and protected production where daylength and moisture are managed well. For planning purposes this profile should be treated as a cultivar-level record that can inherit broad Campanula medium crop defaults while keeping its own variety name, lilac color, market fit, and supplier details.
