Spanish bluebells, in the hyacinth family. I have some too that came with the house. They bloom pretty early here in Alabama.

Yes, Spanish bluebells, Hyacinthoides hispanica. If happy they will slowly naturalize, but if you want to help them along, it will soon be time to plant more bulbs.

They multiply slowly, Ann. Eventually you may be able to dig up the bulbs and divide them, but if you want more sooner you'd need to plant more bulbs.

Mine haven't multiplied like I thought they would but they have come back for...the past 15 years or so? I agree with Douglas Hunt...plant more. I have bought others but they haven't been as tall as the first ones I bought.

everyone is right..they can be a bit invasive..... in a mini bulb gets dropped on the soil..... and get covered up.. they are a wildflower in lots of wooded areas here in Washington...

Mine multiplied, but very slow, it didn't become invasive at all.

These could be Scottish Bluebells. They are 8 to 12" tall.

UK is having problems with this plant: "An aggressive hybrid (Hyacinthoides x massartiana) - is the product of cross-breeding between the native bluebell (English) and the Spanish variety (Hyacinthoides hispanica)" They want their English Bluebell back!! I try to use Spanish Bluebells sparingly here and use USA native Virginia Bluebell. I DO really like the Spanish Bluebell, but generally try to support using non invasive plants whenever I can.

Looks like Virginia Bluebells. If they are, they bloom in early Spring, just before some daffodils and die back until next year. I had some planted around my hostas as when the bluebells died back you wouldn't see their old leaves. They have a dark brown fleshy root/tuber that can be gently dug up and put somewhere else. Love their fragrance!
