I had gotten a beautiful canterbury bell plant for easter i planted it outside and it was doing great about 2 weeks ago it just died. Do you know how long they last and do they come back every year? |

Welcome to GG! Sorry about your canterbury bells - they usually are a perennial. Don't get discouraged - this year has been bad for plants, at least in my neck of the woods. You might try posting under 'Perennials' - more people will be looking there and you might get more helpful info. |

Welcome to Garden Guides. I've never had one, so I have no experience with that particular plant. I'm sure that someone will be able to help you. I hope that you get an answer. |

If they are the same as mine, mine are biannuals. I grow them for one season to start the plant, the second year the blossom. This year, mine actually reblossomed while a few of them blossomed and then went to seed. |

Canterbury bell is a biennial. It sounds like you got yours on the second year of growth when it blooms and eventually dies. Most people will plant these for to 2 or 3 years in a row to let them seed and have a self contained patch. They are a show stopper when grown in bunches. Ron www.gardening-for-wildlife.com |
