Hi. I am new to this forum, and would like some advice. My Aunt has
given me lots of Bluebells from her garden as it is overgrown with them.
She pulled the long stem from the bulb, they have loads of green pods
on each one. I am unsure if they contain seeds, if they do, I would
like to plant them in my Son,s garden, but have no idea how to go about
it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.


Bluebells spread everywhere here. (NJ USA).
I guess it's by seed because of the distances from one patch to the
next.

Normally seeds need to dry in the pod while on the plant, but
bluebells could be an exception.

If you dig down into a blue bell patch you find round white bulbs
from 1/2 inch up to an inch. You can put some back and take some
to the new place you want bluebells.
