SEED STORIES | Bells of Ireland: The Garden's Lucky Charm

[searose]

I just planted some Bells of Ireland 20 minutes ago....this video was posted 5 minutes ago. That's what I call good timing!

I added these to my cut garden this year. Very easy to grow and I think they are beautiful.

I started these inside under grow lights and successfully transplanted them into the garden. Watching them now for more growth and bells!

OK I got these germinated, they were your seed too! You have to sow them exactly as one does with the poppy, they just get pressed into the soil media, they need LIGHT! light required germination. I had them in seed starting pots in a protected outdoor location and kept soil moist. It did take a while but they ALL germinated and I gave one lovely plant to my Irish mother in law who still has it. They are supposed to be very fragrant, but mine did not seem to have a scent? maybe they have to get bigger or the "blossoms" longer on the plant or something. I sure wish I could smell them.

I'm excited to hear they're fragrant. I choose a lot of what I grow because of fragrance. I'll have to try some.
