The bluebell bulbs in the green are 3 year old bulbs and they should flower in their first year after planting. The plants come with bulbs, roots and leaves and sometimes as a small plug. You need to plant the whole plant or whole plug and be careful not to let the roots dry out. We start checking our bulbs in early January and send out for despatch when ready in March up to May.

Plant Name: English Bluebells

Latin Name: Hyacinthoides non-scripta

Description: One of the most magnificent spectacles of the British Isles is its woodlands, blanketed with English bluebells in the springtime. Bluebells favour well-drained soils in woodlands, scrub, pastures, heaths and sea cliffs.

Native Bluebells have nodding flower heads, usually with long narrow leaves with a blunt point. The flowers are usually a darker blue and the flower stem can be quite dark. Overall the native bluebell is smaller than the non-native Spanish Bluebell or hybrid plants. Care needs to be taken when planting, so that the non-native bluebells are not growing near. This will reduce the risk of cross pollination.

Flowering Times: April to May

Flower Colour: Deep Blue

Height Plant: Plant stalk can be up to 40cm

Management: Bluebells will thrive in full or partial shade, and prefer rich soils, although are tolerant of most sites. They do very well under deciduous trees and long-term they may require uplifting and sorting to maintain the stock.
