Description
BLUEBELL BULB MIX - With this fantastic bluebell mixed bulb collection, you will receive 10, 25 or 50 mixed coloured Spanish bluebell perennial bulbs in tones of pink, lilac, blue and white. These lovely flowers are vigorous growers, growing to a height of 40 cm. Spanish bluebells flower during April and early May creating a carpet of colour wherever planted, loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies.HOW TO PLANT BLUEBELLS - Plant these bluebell bulbs during Autumn to Winter in fertile, well draining soil in partial shade approximately 10 cm apart and at a depth, three to four times the size of the bulb. After planting, water well. Adding mulch, wood chips and organic matter to the planting area will increase soil drainage. After flowering, the nutrients stored in the leaves will help with overwintering. They are UK hardy and will continue to grow each year with little maintenance.PLANTING POSITION - These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds and garden borders or also in patio pots or round the base of trees. They are particularly popular for use in woodland gardens or rock gardens. Spanish Bluebells can also be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden. Avoid growing Spanish bluebells if you live near a woodland in which native English bluebells are growing. Also avoid growing the different varieties in your garden to prevent hybridisation.EASY TO STORE - If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.
