Hyacinthoides hispanica or the Spanish bluebell thrives in rich moist soils and part shaded positions.
They are often naturally found in deciduous woodlands and paint a wonderful picture of springtime as a carpet of blue emerges.
They are well suited to informal planting styles and will tolerate direct sun but prefer some shade.
They have attractive strap shaped leaves and fragrant 5-12 lilac to blue, bell-shaped flowers on each stem, though can be found in pink and white varieties.
