Spanish Bluebells or wood hyacinths are easy to grow and generous in their flowering, producing 40cm stems with porcelain blue bells in late spring and early summer. They are superb for naturalizing in the same manner as narcissus daffodils, but tolerate a more shady location.
Their shade enduring quality and long blooming season makes them of unparalleled value for difficult areas where many other bulbs may not grow as well. Excellent in any parts of the garden that have been left to run wild, in sun or shade. Deer and rodent proof.
Suggestion: combine with Narcissus recurvus for a classic late spring and early summer garden picture.
Suggestion: delightful with tall, late flowering tulips like Ballerina, La Cortine, Menton or Marilyn.
