Thanks everyone, I think I'll just stick with the bluebells then!

Do you mean Scottish bluebells (hairbells) or English bluebells (wild
hyacinths)?
I'm thinking of English Bluebells

By the way, remember that wild bluebells are protected and its an
offence to dig them up.
I'm buying them off ebay - the seller says they're cultivated, so I'm
offloading the responsibility on them
In which case, make sure you're getting English bluebells (Hyacinthoides
non-scripta) and not the dreaded Spanish bluebells. We have been given
"English" bluebells before which aren't, and which we keep in quarantine
until they flower to be sure! Many people just don't realise there is a
difference.
