How to Plant and Care for Canterbury Bells Seeds – Champion II Rose
Starting Seeds
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly cover the seeds with a fine layer of soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and warm (around 65-70°F or 18-21°C), and expect germination in 14-21 days.
Transplanting Seedlings
Once seedlings have developed several sets of leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors or into larger containers. Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.
Watering
Water Canterbury Bells regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to protect the delicate foliage from fungal diseases. Water at the base of the plant to ensure the soil remains evenly moist.
Lighting
Canterbury Bells prefer full sun to partial shade. Plant them in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If growing indoors, place the plant near a south-facing window or supplement with grow lights as needed.
Temperature
These plants thrive in mild temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Protect them from frost, as they are sensitive to cold temperatures. Wait until the weather warms up in the spring to plant them outdoors.
Fertilizing
Canterbury Bells benefit from light feeding. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooming. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth with fewer blooms.
Harvesting and Propagating Canterbury Bells
Harvesting
To enjoy fresh flowers in your home, cut the blooms in the morning when the flowers are fully open. Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to prevent damaging the plant. Regularly remove faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
Propagation by Cuttings
Canterbury Bells can be propagated by taking softwood cuttings in the early summer. Place the cuttings in a container with well-draining soil, and keep them moist until they develop roots. Once rooted, transplant them into larger containers or garden beds.
