Spanish Bluebell 'Blue'
- Product number: 735801.1
- Origin: Southwestern Europe
- Latin: Hyacinthoides hispanica, also known as Scilla campanulata
Playful, colorful yet a little wild.... the 40 cm high flower stems bear an elongated cluster with up to 15 hanging bells. They like moisture and (light) shade, ideal as underplanting for shrubs and trees, naturalizing very well. As a cut flower, they are very strong but not fragrant. The difference from the English bluebell is the top of the flower stalk: Spanish upright, English drooping, Spanish not fragrant, English fragrant.
