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.

Sow Seeds

Freeze the seeds for a week before sowing.  Sow seeds thinly into seed trays of compost indoors in early spring (late Feb-May) and cover very lightly with compost.  Germination takes around 14-21 days.  Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle.
