Bells-of-Ireland is a summer blooming annual with 2 to 3 foot tall spires of vivid green bells. though typically blooming mid summer to fall, in our hot arid climate the blooming season may be shorter. Not a native of Ireland, but rather of the eastern Mediterranean to India. Another common name is lady-in-a-bathtub. Excellent fresh or dried cut flower, though the stem has tiny, sharp thorns, so wear gloves when handling.
Usually seed sown. Grow in loose, well draining, moderately fertile soil. Full sun to light shade. Avoid overhead watering; requires moderate, though regular, watering. Flower spikes will probably need staking.
