My flowers were planted this year and have grown tall and spindly. Now that they have finished flowering when should I cut them down? Regards Mildred Massey
You can deadhead and cut them back anytime to encourage fuller growth. This article may help

I live in zone 6. I like to plant my canterbury bellflower where they will get morning sun till aboutt 1oclock. Is this enough sun for them? For canterbury bells, is morning sun till abt 12 or 1pm enough sun?
Yes, that should be enough sun. You may see a slight reduction in the number of flowers they produce, but they will grow just fine.
I would like to propagate seeds from last blooms but don't know where to find them in the dried husks? What do they look like, Thanks Lynnie Joines
These are VERY small. They are tan in color, and are about the size of a letter on the face side of a penny. This article will help you to grow these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/canterbury-bells/canterbury-bells-plant-how-to-grow-canterbury-bells.htm
Where can I fine Canterbury bells bulbs or seeds?
We don't, usually, recommend places to purchase. I would check at your local nurseries, or any online nursery. They will usually ship just about anywhere.
I am finding long bulb type roots in a bed where canteberry bells and campanella have been grown. Could these be for these flowers?
These are usually propagated by seed. Can you send in a photo? This can help me to determine what this could be.
Canterbury bells is a biennial meaning it dies after flowering. Campanula has fleshy roots that spread in every direction, but no bulb. Can you post a picture?
Have tried the normal pesticides but to no avail. Leaves crispy and dry . None of the normal garden pests showing
This sounds like a rust fungus, just from the description. A pesticide will not work for this. You will need a fungicide.

my cup and saucer bells are in a pot they have flowered, plants are too big for the pot, will they survive if I dig up roots and pant in the garden.
If they are still flowering, you will lose the flowers if you move them now. Wait till they have finished flowering to move them. You may need to stake them until then. They should do fine if transplanted to a garden.
