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? -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |

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? Judith |

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. |
