The flower of the mythic “bluebell woods” of western Europe and England.
Flax-blue, sweetly scented flowers have ½–¾" petals with curled-back tips. Graceful arching racemes with flowers on one side grow 4–8" above glossy green leaves. Similar to Scilla, but taller with larger flowers, and later to bloom.
Self-seeds and forms new bulbs each year to replace old ones that shrivel. Some gardeners occasionally experience skin irritations on contact with flowers or foliage. Tolerates shade, moisture and a wide range of soils, and also do well in full sun. Native to western Europe and England, where bluebells bloom under deciduous trees not yet leafed out to form beautiful “bluebell woods.”
12–18" tall. Mid Spring blooms, Z5–8. 6cm/up bulbs.
Items from our perennial plants warehouse will ship around September 30 through October.

The Royal General Bulbgrowers Association in Holland (Koninklijke Algemeene Vereeniging voor Bloembollencultuur, or KAVB) puts this large group of diverse flowers into a boring catch-all category: Miscellaneous Bulbs. The expensive catalogs call them accent bulbs; some call them minor or dwarf bulbs (even though some of the fritillaries are huge!); Louise Beebe Wilder covered most of them in her 1936 classic Adventures with Hardy Bulbs. Whatever you call them, most are sweet, colorful, and completely welcome in spring.
