Commonly known as Spanish Bluebells or Wood Hyacinth, these spring-flowering bulbs are well known for naturalising easily in a wide range of garden conditions. They produce sturdy flower spikes of blue, held above slender green leaves, creating a lovely display through spring.

Spanish Bluebells look best planted in bold clumps, tucked under taller trees, or woven through borders for a relaxed, woodland-style effect. Very low maintenance once established, they will return each year and gradually multiply over time.

Why you’ll love them

  • Great for naturalising in many conditions

  • Ideal for planting in drifts, clumps, and under trees

  • Reliable spring colour with minimal care

  • Will reproduce and flower for years to come

Scilla, also known as Bluebells, are the ideal Bulb for Naturalizing - they are hardy wee things, that enjoy part shade. Perfect for undertree plantings.

Not that long ago these bulbs were known mostly as Scilla…. The name has moved on a bit, but shrubs and summer-flowering perennials will still be brightened up by planting these lovely bulbs in among them. And the big benefit is their ability to multiply every year.

There are two types of Bluebells - English Bluebells, and the more common variety found in New Zealand, the Spanish Bluebells. Spanish Bluebells grow much easier in our climate, hence why you’ll see a lot more of these than the English version.
