Bells of Ireland is a beloved specialty cut flower known for its tall, elegant spires lined with bright green, bell-shaped calyces. Each stem adds striking height, structure, and a fresh botanical look to arrangements. Though commonly called “bells,” the true flowers are tiny and white, tucked inside the papery green cups.
