The Bells of Ireland is a classic and beloved flower, frequently seen in fresh cut arrangements and bouquets. Known for its tall, vibrant green stems adorned with small, fragrant white flowers nestled in cup-like petals or sepals, it’s a flower that adds a striking punch of green to any floral display. With a long vase life and the ability to bring height and elegance to arrangements, it's easy to see why this flower is a favourite choice for so many.
Bells of Ireland thrive in full sun, as it helps produce strong, sturdy stems. In shadier spots, the plant may require staking to prevent the stems from bending or collapsing, especially in wind or rainy conditions. While they love sunlight, they’re sensitive to extreme heat and humidity, so be mindful when selecting the perfect spot for them in your garden. As an annual, it only blooms once, so once flowering is complete, removing the stalk will not produce another bloom. However, these green giants are prolific self-seeders, so if you let them complete their natural life cycle, you can expect to see more next year!
They also make stunning dried flowers, adding a unique texture to any dried arrangement. Be cautious when handling them, as their stems can have small thorns—gloves are recommended.
