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.
