Bluebell bulb suppliers
 

I'm looking for a reliable supplier of true English bluebell bulbs,
free from hispanic contamination. A search on the net brings up
several UK suppliers, but some of the associated pictures look
decidedly hybrid, which raises doubts in my mind. If they don't know
the difference between hybrids and true English bluebells well enough
to get the right picture, how reliable are their bulbs?

Does anyone know a reliable supplier of true English bluebell bulbs?

Thanks for those links. Certainly more promising than the couple I
looked at.

Whenever I read about bluebells it says to buy them "in the green" is
that what you do or do you get success with bulbs?

I've no idea, but I know it applies to snowdrops.

I did a trial a few years ago, snowdrops in the green and just
snowdrop bulbs. The result was staggering, the side of the garden
done in the green was beautiful and the side by bulb was sparse for
the first couple of years although they did almost catch up but not
quite.

BoyPete sent me a load of bluebell bulbs and I would like to thank
him, I did post but I don't know if he is here any more?

Watch out - As virtually all of the bulbs sold by the big chains do
not come from English stock. They are from Holland, to name just one
country.
