Garden Bluebells

 

Bluebells I find are a curse in my Garden, not doubt many of you will disagree saying they are a beautiful flower, the trouble is the spread like the plague and I am forever trying to dig them up and bin them. If they were like the native English bluebells I would welcome them but these are Spanish Blubells  which was introduced in to England and which most of you see in peoples gardens. Look around mine and found a few different colours for you to see

These are the ones I am forever pulling up but they tend to be deep and tend to escape
 

 But for some reason we have  a few white ones which I tend to leave

Some grow on their own

 
Others mixed in
 

 I have noticed few with a pink ting
 
 
 
though I found one which looks confused 
Take Care

I agree with you. I have tried over the years to rid my garden of the white version which are an invasive species. You can tell thedifference because they have a triangular stem. They spread like wildfire and strangle my other bulbs.

Lovely photos. Even the white ones are pretty although from what you say it would be advisable to plant them somewhere off to the side where they have room to run amok.

But very invasive

Luck we only have a few but then I pull them up once they flower

Pretty but you don't want them in your garden

Those are so pretty, we only see them in woodland settings here.

They’re very pretty. We have similar flowers but they are not invasive.

Oh, I love them. So dainty and pretty. Had some, but I either mowed them down or they didn't come back the next year. If I lived closed, I'd some and take some. :)

They really are so pretty, but yes, if they're growing where you don't want them to, it's also annoying!

Don't let looks fool you

Billy Blue Eyes said...

That is where you find the English ones

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I'll swap you

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I'd give you a bucket load

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I don't mind a few of them but they do spread
