Beautiful and stunning flowers with a sweet, light fresh scent. They held up well in Upstate New York and I can't wait for them to bloom again this spring. Eden Brothers does carry superior seeds.

Beautiful in my wedding bouquet
I love Bells of Ireland...very cool name, but such a beautiful flower/plant. I had three spears of them in my wedding bouquet, and it was one of my favorite parts about my wedding day. I hope there will be more seeds in stock in the Spring, as I would love to grow them for myself :)

I was attracted to this flower by its name. The photos do not do it justice. Very pretty plant. Glad I planted it!
