Comments:
Bells of Ireland, an annual that is highly regarded in the florist industry for both fresh arrangements and dried arrangements. Sow seeds in the deep South in fall for the spring garden. The stalks dry nicely preserving their natural color. This is an annual that has been grown since 1570 and is a great choice for the cottage garden and in flower beds where relatively tall growing plants are needed for background.
