Hyacinthoides non-scripta
Welsh: Clychau’r Glas
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. Our native bluebells are UK-grown from our own pure Welsh stock, giving them genuine UK provenance.
It flowers in May, reaching its glorious peak in the middle of the month.
Despatched freshly lifted in autumn.
