Forcing bluebells to flower earlier. Is it possible?
 
Hi, Strange request i know, but is it possible to force bluebells to
flower earlier than then would normally?

If so how?

Would putting them in a heared greenhouse sped up the process?

Thanks

AFAIK their flowering is triggered by day length, They flower naturally in
deciduous woodland before the trees get their leaves back and cut out the
light. therefore artificial light would probably be more use than applying
heat.
