I believe that, in Scotland, the English Bluebell is commonly called
Harebell (aka Campanula rotundifolia), so you will need to use the latin
tag to be sure you get the right plant. Hyacinthoides non-scripta has
already been mentioned, but it is still occasionally seen as Scilla
non-scripta or Endymion non-scripta.


Seems to be the same all over the world: common plant names are more
confusing than enlightening. :-)

Yup! I entirely agree.
Hope you manage to get hold of true English Bluebells.
