Spanish Bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica) are
Spanish Bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica) are a flowering bulb that blooms in mid-spring. The common name comes from the lavender-blue, bell-shaped blooms on its foot-tall flower spike. They are sometimes referred to as Wood Hyacinths. While the flowers are normally blue, you can also find white and pink forms.
They are native to Spain and northern Africa. These little bulbs are hardy to USDA zones 3 to 8. Spanish Bluebells prefer well-draining soils in sun to part-shade locations. They are deer-resistant and low-maintenance.
The bulbs naturalize by both self-sowing and by making more bulb offsets. You can dig and divide a clump to replant them once the foliage starts to die back. If planted near English bluebells (Hyancinthoides non-scripta), they can potentially hybridize with each other and create new flower forms from their seeds.
