A year ago I planted a small "Deep Blue" Canterbury Bells in a four inch pot, and gave it minimal attention. It has developed in to a huge and stunning plant with perhaps 200 large bell flowers.
I promise to take more photos today to show you more clearly in a future post how bountiful and stunning this plant is.
It is kind of wild how the Canterbury Bells clash with the orange nasturtiums, wild yet pleasing.
I would call the flowers purple rather than blue. The plant is from Annie's Annuals and Perennials and I put some in a bouquet for our Father's Day BBQ at our house. I love the rich colors and any flowers with the bell shape.

I love Canterbury Bells too, even the name is beautiful! I've never seen them in with nasturtiums before, but because you live in California, I'll give it to you. The two colours together just SHOUT SUMMER, don't they!
They are beautiful - but they look almost purple - love them though.

I love these - and they look so pretty with the orange nasturtiums.
Those are very pretty. Don't know that they could stand up to Texas heat, though. Love the mix of colors.
Very pretty! I like the colors.

A riot of colors. I have never seen these flowers before
They are lovely and the colors very vibrant. I have never grown Canterbury bells. Hope you enjoy your afternoon.
