Hyacinthoides hispanica 'Alba'
A Spanish bluebell can be blue, pink or white in colour, with a faint scent and more open flowers than the English species.
Planting Outdoors
From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn
Dormant bulbs are best planted out into the garden in Autumn, before the frosts arrive. Plant the bulbs just below the surface of the soil, in ground which is rich but well drained. The best position is somewhere with shade.
Propagation by division
From Early Autumn TO Late Autumn
Dig up and divide the tubers. If discarding, bin them - if you put them in the garden compost they will not decompose, but carry on growing.
Flowering Season
From Late Spring TO Early Summer
The Spanish bluebell has a more open bell like flower than the English variety and can come in white, violet blue, pale pink or pale blue. They do not have such a strong scent as the English variety.
