x 50

Height: 24-48”

Spacing: 10-12”

DTM: 90-110

Add fresh, bright-green color and texture to mixed bouquets. Long stems covered with bright apple-green, bell-shaped, 2" calyxes centered with tiny, white blooms. Use as a spike or filler flower. Excellent in dried arrangements too. Blooms have a lovely, sour-apple scent. Also known as bells-of-Ireland and shellflower.

Growing: 12-21 days at 65-68°F (18-20°C). For the best germination, chill seeds for 1-2 weeks at 35-40°F (1.7-4.4°C) before sowing. Sow 6-8 weeks before planting out in individual 3" containers or cell packs, as plants have taproots and do not transplant well. Bottom water or mist to avoid covering seed with displaced soil. Harden off and transplant outside after the danger of frost has passed.
