Product Information
With their intense indigo blue colour and sweetly fragrant perfume, Bluebells boldly herald the arrival of Spring and the onset of warmer weather.
You can now create your own carpet of these pretty woodland favourites in your garden. Simply plant them in a shady spot at the base of a hedge or around the base of a tree where they will naturalise just like in the wild. As is the case with Snowdrops, planting Bluebells 'in the green', when they are in leaf and still growing, is by far and away the most successful method of establishing them and is much more successful than planting dry bulbs in the Autumn.
What Is Supplied
Supplied as a pack of 25 plants, 'in the green', ready to plant. This is the most reliable way to get a colony going. Please note that the leaves may turn yellow towards the end of the season, and will also do so after planting as they die back underground and prepare for next year. Please plant with confidence whether the leaves are green or yellow!

Care Information
- Plant bulbs in groups in early autumn, with the pointed growing tip upwards, 10-15cm deep, 10cm apart, allowing room for clumps to naturalise and spread.
- They thrive in well-drained soils, rich in organic matter.
- Apply an organic mulch to improve poor soil and water well after planting.
- Ideally positioned in dappled shade, they are tolerant of full sun through to full shade.
- If planting in grass, avoid mowing until the leaves have died back.
- Bluebells can become overcrowded after a few years.
- Lift the bulbs after flowering and divide offsets and large clumps for replanting.
