Bluebell 'Cultivated'

Bulbs x 10

English Bluebells are known for their delicate, bell-shaped flowers that hang in drooping clusters. The flowers are typically blue-purple, although they can vary in shade, and they have a distinct sweet fragrance. The petals often curl back at the tips. These plants reach a height of about 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 centimeters) when in bloom. These plants are well-suited for woodland or shade gardens, where they naturalize and create stunning drifts of color. They can also be used in borders and other garden settings, provided there is enough shade.

Bulbs are a form of dormant plant which when planted in the correct conditions produce a full plant over time. Plants which naturally survive as bulbs will usually die down into the ground when their season is finished in order to store their energy to return the following year.

Most bulbs should be planted at a depth 2-3 times their own depth. e.g. a 5cm bulb will be planted at 10-15cm deep.

Plant bulbs with their shoot side facing upwards up. If unsure which side, it's best to plant the bulb "laying down".

Cover with soil and lightly water in. Avoid the ground staying overly wet as it may cause the bulbs to rot.

Feed weekly with a high potassium feed, such as tomato feed, once shoots appear.

Stop feeding when the foliage begins to die back. Allow the foliage to die back naturally as this will support growth in future years.

Please note: In order to lessen our environmental impact, all of our plants will be removed from their plastic cell trays or pots before sending. Ensure you are ready to pot your plants when they arrive.
