I have; bells of Ireland, Irish Moss, St. Patrick™ Hybrid Tea Rose, IRISH EYES Glorisa Daisy, Bells of Ireland, Copper Queen Daffodil (developed on the coast of Ireland), Irish Gold Rose Hybrid Tea and Wild Irish Rose. I am not trying to limit color or height but needs something to do with theme. any suggestions? Quote \| Reply \| Report

Mostly I am [U]not [/U]looking to make a traditional Irish garden, I am looking for plants with it in their names. Quote \| Reply \| Report

What's more Irish than clover? I was given some last summer and was told that it looks really nice in a pot. I'm going to try it! Actually you are very close. Oxalis are more commonly known as Shamrocks and would fit perfectly in an Irish garden but I am not sure if they are a zone 6 perenial. I zone 5 I have to dig them and store them for the winter (they are actually a tiny bulb). Quote \| Reply \| Report
