Bells of Ireland Seeds
I love Bells of Ireland. Beautiful and unusual with bell-shaped, green bracts all along the branching stems. Bells of Ireland are vibrant, eye catching and unique. Perfect for any indoor or outdoor space
Gorgeous spires to add interest to the garden or cut for the most amazing foliage in flower arrangements. Bells of Ireland grow best in well-drained soil and full sun/partial shade but prefer cooler weather. It will self-seed if allowed to fully mature.
Add unique texture and vibrant green to your bouquets with Bells of Ireland (Moluccella laevis). This fascinating hardy annual isn't grown for its tiny white flowers, but for the large, chartreuse-green, bell-shaped calyxes that tightly pack its tall stems. They bring an incredible architectural element to arrangements, both fresh and dried.
