Cut Flower Campanula Champion Pro Series Light Pink Seedling Pack

Campanula medium

Cut Flower Campanula Champion Pro seedlings, grown in Marlborough by Gray Floral, shipping NZ wide.

Softest light pink - the perfect companion to pastel ranuncs. 

Champion Campanula has been bred specifically for cut flower production, and unlike traditional biennial campanula, will flower in the first year from seed. Their perfect cup florets face upwards and so are ideal for use in bouquets, and they produce sturdy tall stems that almost don't look real they're so perfect!

We have trialed several sow dates for this campanula and have found that for the longest stems and most productive plants, they are best planted in autumn and over wintered. Spring sown plants will flower first year, however will throw short stems and only one flush. 

Champion campanula  can be planted at 20cm spacing, is frost tolerant and should probably be grown with support but in our garden we have found that autumn planted plants throw sturdy stems and if planted tight we've been able to get away without support. 

We've tried pinching and not pinching - and would not recommend pinching for the best display and first flush. 

Pack of  6 or 12 Champion Campanula Light Pink Plants 

Standard NZ shipping included. If you are rural, please select the rural option at checkout to avoid delays in processing your order.

All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting. 

We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool wrap that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. On arrival, take your plants out of the box and give them a good drink of water - you can leave them wrapped in the wool to do this! When you're ready to plant or pot on you can unwrap the seedlings, but they will happily spend a couple of days in their wool blanket before planting.

This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
