Description
These white bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica 'White City') are vigorous, easy to grow and excellent naturalisers. Plant them in autumn and they’ll flower the following April with graceful white nodding blooms. If planted in beds, every year the groups will get larger and more impressive. They can get carried away which is very useful if you have a large space to fill, otherwise plant them in pots or contained beds and leave them to provide an easy and reliable display each year.
Best suited to woodland surroundings, these white bluebells are a natural shade lover. But you don’t have to have large garden with trees and shrubs to enjoy this little stunner - in fact, it’s robust and non-fussy enough to plant virtually anywhere. As the name suggests, even a small city garden could make a great home to Hyacinthoideshispanica 'White City, bringing a country woodland vibe to your planting schemes or pots and also providing nectar for bees.
* To avoid cross-hybridisation with native English bluebells in the UK, this variety is best grown in enclosed gardens or areas away from British woodland and countryside where it may be become invasive.
