Bells of Ireland
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 Â
Gorgeous spires 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. Â
