Hyacinthoides non-scripta 'Bakkum Blue'


('productnameshort')

Hyacinthoides non-scripta 'Bakkum Blue' is a vivid royal blue and purple form of the fabled English bluebell.


Description:
The fabled common or English bluebell is much beloved in the UK for forming carpets of blue in "bluebell woods" across the country. It differs from the more commonly-grown Spanish bluebell (H. hispanica) by having an arching rather than upright stem, darker blue flowers with more recurved petal tips, and a beautiful fragrance. 'Bakkum Blue' is a vivid royal blue form with purple highlights. H. hispanica and H. non-scripta readily hybridize so if you have both in your garden, don't allow them to set seed unless you want hybrids.
