Campanula is grown just as popularly outdoors as it is indoors. To grow Cup and Saucer Mix campanula seeds as an annual, begin seeds indoors 8-10 weeks prior to the final frost. But to plant as a biennial, sow seeds directly outside late into the spring for blooming early next year. Campanula seeds will germinate in 14-21 days with full lighting. Lightly press 3-4 Cup and Saucer Mix campanula 12" apart in average, evenly moist, and well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Cup and Saucer Mix seeds are native to cooler, shaded, higher altitude climates, and will decline in the consistently hot summer months. Plants have no particular susceptibility to diseases, but do not overwater. Watch for slugs on outdoor grows and aphids on potted indoor plant. Cup and Saucer Mix seeds are biennials that mature in their 2nd year as 24-30" tall bushy uprights with a 9-15" spread of hardy stalks bursting with famously cup-shaped blooms.

Campanula medium, or otherwise known as Canterbury Bell, is native to the stony mile-high altitudes of southern Europe, but has since naturalized throughout the rest of Europe and North America in similar cool climates. The genus Campanula earns its name from the Latin word campana meaning "bell" in reference to its internationally famous bell-shaped blooms. Beekeepers will maintain campanula plants for a significantly sweeter honey batch.
