Bells of Ireland: The Elegant Green Flower That Brings Beauty, Good Luck & Timeless Style to Your Home
Written by Petal Perfection Flower Company
When people think of fresh flowers, colorful roses, lilies, hydrangeas, and sunflowers often come to mind. However, one of the most unique and elegant flowers available is the stunning Bells of Ireland. With their tall, vibrant green stems and distinctive bell-shaped blooms, Bells of Ireland add height, texture, sophistication, and a fresh garden feel to virtually any floral arrangement.
At Petal Perfection Flower Company, we love incorporating Bells of Ireland into our custom floral designs because they create a dramatic statement while complementing almost every flower imaginable. Whether you're decorating your home, celebrating a special occasion, or looking for a thoughtful gift, Bells of Ireland offer timeless beauty that never goes out of style.
What Are Bells of Ireland?
Despite their name, Bells of Ireland (Moluccella laevis) are not actually native to Ireland. They originated in the eastern Mediterranean region but earned their name because their lush emerald green color became associated with the Emerald Isle and the symbolism of Irish good fortune.
These striking flowers symbolize:
Good luck
Prosperity
Good fortune
New beginnings
Success
Because of their symbolism, they're especially popular in wedding bouquets, grand opening celebrations, housewarming gifts, retirement parties, St. Patrick's Day arrangements, and elegant home décor. They are also prized by floral designers because their dramatic vertical lines add movement, dimension, and balance to both traditional and contemporary floral designs.
Why We Love Using Bells of Ireland
At Petal Perfection Flower Company, every flower is selected for freshness, beauty, and longevity. Bells of Ireland are one of our favorite accent flowers because they:

Create beautiful texture and depth
Pair beautifully with roses, hydrangeas, lilies, orchids, sunflowers, stock, snapdragons, carnations, and seasonal blooms
Work equally well in rustic, traditional, tropical, modern, and luxury floral designs
Stay attractive for an extended period with proper care
Whether we're creating an everyday bouquet or an elaborate wedding installation, Bells of Ireland help create that unforgettable "WOW" factor our customers have come to expect.
Caring for Cut Bells of Ireland
Like all premium fresh flowers, Bells of Ireland will reward you with a longer vase life when cared for properly.
Care Tips
Trim approximately one inch from the stems at a 45-degree angle before placing them in water.
Remove any foliage that will sit below the waterline.
Use a clean vase filled with fresh, cool water.
Add the flower food provided with your arrangement.
Replace the water every two to three days.
Re-cut the stems each time you change the water.
Display your arrangement away from direct sunlight, heating vents, ceiling fans, and ripening fruit.
Keep arrangements in a cool room whenever possible.
With proper care, Bells of Ireland often remain attractive for 7–14 days, depending on environmental conditions and freshness at harvest.
