Hyacinoides non-scripta English Blue Bells

Hyacinthoides non-scripta, commonly known as English Bluebells, is a charming, bulbous perennial renowned for its enchanting clusters of bell-shaped, violet-blue flowers that nod gracefully in the spring breeze. This deciduous plant forms dense carpets under the canopy of hardwood forests and woodlands, creating a captivating springtime display. English Bluebells prefer partial to full shade environments and thrive in well-draining, humus-rich soil. They are hardy in USDA zones 4 to 9 and favor temperatures ranging from 35°F to 70°F (1°C to 21°C). Though not typically susceptible to deer, they can experience damage during heavy browsing. With a mature height of 12 to 18 inches, these ethereal blooms bring a touch of classic woodland beauty to shaded gardens and naturalized areas.
