  • Description

  • Notes

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.
