English bluebell
Hyacinthoides non-scripta
Overview
The English bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) is a beautiful perennial native to Britain and parts of Europe. The plant has nodding bell-shaped flowers in shades of soft blue, and its delicate fragrance is a delight on a warm spring day. Growing to a height of up to six inches, the English bluebell thrives in shady places such as woodland with moist soils. In summer the flowers fade, and the plant goes dormant before blooming again the following year. With its spreading rhizomes and abundance of bright blue flowers, the English bluebell is a beloved and eye-catching addition to any garden.
