Hardy Native Bulbs

Transform your garden with a carpet of native English Bluebells!

• Hyacinthoides non-scripta, known as the English bluebell, is a classic woodland perennial celebrated for its nodding, violet-blue flowers and delicate fragrance.
• This pack contains 120 hardy bulbs, perfect for creating a stunning spring display reminiscent of ancient British woodlands.

Why Choose English Bluebells?

• Wildlife Friendly: Their fragrant blooms attract bees and other pollinators, supporting local biodiversity.
• Naturalising Beauty: Once established, these vigorous bulbs multiply year after year, forming dense swathes of colour beneath trees or through grassy areas.
• Tough & Reliable: Fully hardy in the UK (RHS H7), bluebells thrive even in challenging conditions and require minimal attention once planted.

How to Grow & Care For Your Bluebells

• Planting Time: Best planted in autumn (September–November) while bulbs are dormant.
• Location: Choose partial or full shade—ideal under deciduous trees, along borders, or naturalised in lawns.
• Soil: Prefers moist but well-drained soil; tolerates clay, loam, or sandy types. Slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal.
• Caring: Water after planting and during dry spells in the first season. Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed next year’s blooms. No pruning needed—simply enjoy their effortless beauty!
• Mature Size: Each bulb grows to around 25cm (10") tall and spreads about 8cm (3"). Over time, clumps will expand for an even more impressive display.

Design Tips & Companion Plants

• Create woodland drifts by mixing with native ferns, primroses (Primula vulgaris) or wild garlic (Allium ursinum) for authentic British habitat planting.
• Suits cottage gardens, wildlife-friendly borders, or any shaded spot needing a burst of spring colour.
