My mother used to grow the most beautiful Bells of Ireland in a bed beside the side porch. I don't know whether she planted seeds each year or whether they reseeded. Bells of Ireland are an annual.
I've tried numerous times over the years to plant some, without any luck. The seed packages warn that the seeds are very slow to germinate - maybe I just wasn't patient enough. This year though, I do have this one plant.
Several weeks ago, I threw my leftover seeds in a container with other seeds, so there is hope for more, although it's questionable whether they will have time to grow and form the pretty little bells.
On to next year.
