Scilla mischtschenkoana 'Tubergeniana'
This is the correct and almost unpronounceable name, for one of the very best early spring flowering bulbs. It coincides with winter aconites and snowdrops and continues in flower for about 4 weeks.. Very long lasting heads of delicate silvery-blue flowers. Although it is slow to increase the individual bulbs are exceptionally long lived - at least 40 years here.

The common English bluebell is a must for open woodland and wild planting. Purple- blue bells on graceful arching stems above glossy strap-like leaves. Commercially grown stock. May take a couple of seasons to settle down. Not to be confused with the larger so called Spanish Bluebell, this is the true native species.
Height: 15"
Flowering: May
