Product Description
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.

Plant Information
Top Tips
Grow your bluebells in moist but well-drained soil in sun to partial shade.
Care Guide
- 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.

the plants were small but viable. I would like to know where the Snowdrops are that I ordered at the same time; I have not received them nor have I heard when to expect delivery.
Product:
Small but viable. They are planted so we will see how they do. I very much doubt they will flower this year.

fast delivery. A shame the bluebells didn't arrive in the usual little greenhouse. They look perky, but I haven't planted them yet. So cannot comment on how well they grow

bulbs were in very good condition and well packaged. Have rated good, rather than excellent as , obviously, the bulbs haven't flowered so I can't judge the finished product. Very happy so far

More than delighted with every part of your service from when I first spoke on the phone about my order right through till my order was delivered to the door. Excellent delivery service also and plants were all in excellent condition. Thank-you will be ordering again as soon as I decide which shrubs I want.
