Hyacinthoides non-scripta
Every year we harvest seed from our own bluebells. Given time and patience you can now have the chance to furnish a bluebell wood with less expense! It will take 4-6 years to grow a flowering size bulb. We harvest in July and despatch Sep-Oct. Approx 100 seeds per gm.
Known as Jacinth in Elizabethan times, this is the native British bluebell with nodding slender, fragrant flowers, unlike the scentless Spanish bluebell, or the rampant hybrids between the two which are also scentless. Familiar and found in many of our woodlands, it is easy to naturalise in open or shady ground. Grown from our pure Welsh stock it flowers in May, reaching its glorious peak in the middle of the month. Despatched freshly lifted in autumn.
