Description
If you happen to be in Europe in spring, this is the beautiful wildflower you'll see in Spain's woodland areas. The wild form is purple/blue, and it has so many common names we can't list them all! Some call it Spanish Bluebell, others insist it's English Wood Hyacinth, and others just call them Scilla. This famous wildflower even has several botanical names.
But whatever you call it, you'll love the nodding flowers and the plant's habit of spreading into larger and larger clumps. It's great in bulb gardens, perennial borders, along walks--anywhere you'd like lovely spring color year after year. And if you have a woodland area, it's a great naturalizer.
Our bulbs are actually the Spanish Bluebell type, and they are somewhat larger and different from English Bluebells. In fact, the Spanish type have been planted in England and there is concern there since the Spanish variety is crossing with the English type, and some conservationists there are concerned the Spanish 'Invader' will overwhelm the native English Bluebell. Fortunately, we have no problem here in No. America, since we have no native species. The Dutch breeders ship us the Spanish type since they are the larger flowers, and now available in several colors.

Shriveled. . .
"The bulbs arrived shriveled, I planted immediately anyway. I remain hopeful for the spring though. I will note, I also ordered the Spanish bluebells mix they had for sale and those were large, plump, and firm. If the do not grow, I'd just buy from one of the other billion online bulb-stores."
The most expendable bulb in the garden
"Spanish Hyacinth is the answer for my woodland garden in spring. These are so much easier to grown that Virginia bluebells and they multiply like crazy! Bloom every year! As the garden has expanded to encircle the lot I just order moresck them in the ground and wait for the show to start in Spring. Can't be beat!"
Beautiful
"I live in Texas zone 8a. I planted these bulbs in November and they all emerged in March. They were healthy and beautiful. I spread them around under my giant red oak. I hope they spread more on their own for next Spring. Such a lovely Spring flower."
Rabbits didn't eat it
"I planted the bulbs in 2 groups spaced per the instructions. All the bulbs came up and were left alone by the rabbits. Very healthy looking for their first year. I expect they will fill in over the next few years. Very happy - will be purchasing more"
Wood Hyacinths
"These bulbs are stunning in a border planting, rock garden and as accents. Can grow in sun or part sun locations. Easy !!!"
Beautiful!
"I planted this wood hyacinth variety two falls ago after seeing a wonderful glade full of blue hyacinth while visiting the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens with my niece. They bloom as the daffodils are fading, extending the spring bloom season. The color is lovely and the blooms long-lasting. Our rapacious deer don't touch them. The bulbs are small and easy to plant, and the clumps are even fuller this year than last. In short, I can't find anything wrong with them! Last fall I ordered wood hyacinth from another reputable supplier. while the color was good, I was disappointed by their comparatively short stature and spindly leaves, so I am back to American Meadows for more!"
Gonna buy more.
"Planted in my tree lot,to remind me of when I grew up in England. They will spread."
Nice spring bulb
"nicest in a clump"
Exactly what I expected
"They're advertised as all blue, and they mostly are, but some are pink."
