You are seriously confused. No, it is not illegal in the UK, in
general, but may be for some plants.

Wrong. Takeing without consent is theft

Taking property is. Wild plants are not property. OK?

It has little or no effect
on the reproduction of species like bluebells, which use seed mainly
to propagate themselves to new areas.

If sufficient harvests from the wild are done then the species will
decline, note spectacular examples such as cod and whales

For heaven's sake! Please do at least try to read what I post before
weebling on.

And, no, it has not helped
with the spread of Spanish bluebells - as the poster assumed, it
would probably reduce that effect.

Absolute rubbish, if genetically impure bluebells (when the impurity! is
dominant as is the case with spanish bluebells) are put itnto an area
with english bluebells the there is only one result and its certainly
not to reduce the effect of spanish bluebells

What on earth are you on about? I was referring to the use of English
bluebell seed, which is what the original poster was intending to use.
