How to Plant and Care for Canterbury Bells Seeds – Champion Blue
Starting Seeds
Sow Champion Blue Canterbury Bells seeds indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly press the seeds into the soil, as they require light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and warm (around 65-70°F or 18-21°C). Germination typically takes 10-14 days.
Transplanting Seedlings
Once seedlings are large enough to handle and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors in a location with full sun or partial shade. Space plants 10-12 inches apart to allow for good air circulation and optimal growth.
Watering
Canterbury Bells prefer consistently moist soil but should not sit in water. Water the plants regularly, ensuring the soil stays evenly moist, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Water at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry and reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
Lighting
Champion Blue Canterbury Bells thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For best results, plant them in an area where they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If growing indoors, place the seedlings near a bright, sunny window.
Temperature
These plants prefer moderate temperatures and will grow best in the range of 60-70°F (15-21°C). They are not frost-tolerant, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed before transplanting them outdoors.
Fertilizing
Feed Champion Blue Canterbury Bells with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth with fewer flowers.
