Sow seeds into 128-cell plug flats or preferred seedling container 6-8 weeks before planting out. Light is required for germination. Apply a fine layer of vermiculite or growing media on top of the seed to maintain moisture levels and help dissolve the pellet coating. Bottom water or mist lightly to avoid displacing seeds and soil.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after they've developed sufficient size and your frost danger has passed. Space plants 4 inches apart in the garden.
Direct seeding is not recommended for this variety.
Harvest Champion Lavender Campanula stems for cutting when 2-3 lower buds on the stem are open, which typically occurs 120-150 days after transplanting. Keep harvested stems in an upright position to prevent stem bending and maintain the quality of your cut flowers.
