10 Green Flowers to Grow in Your Garden

Bells of Ireland

Bells of Ireland features green calyxes growing around the actual flowers, which are tiny and white. Calyxes are leaf-like structures that form the “bell” in their common name.

Directly sow seeds in a sunny, well-drained location once the danger of heavy frost has passed. Then be patient. It may take up to two weeks for the seeds to germinate, and two months before they bloom. You may need to stake them because they’ll grow almost three feet tall. Or purchase a dwarf variety like ‘Pixie Bells,‘ which only grows to two feet.

Bells of Ireland can be used fresh in flower arrangements or hung to dry for dried arrangements.
