Canterbury bells (Campanula medum) is old-fashioned cottage-garden plant that is easily grown and showy when in flower, but it contributes nothing to the garden at other time. It is planted in small groups where it will not leave large gaps after blooming is finished. 'Cup and Saucer Mixed' is the only cultivar of Canterbury bells other than the species type that is generally available. The flowers are delicate shades of pink, blue and white.
