Douglas Hunt on Sep 09, 2012Yes, 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.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Sep 10, 2012They 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.Helpful Reply

Judy Parkey on May 30, 2014Mine 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.Helpful Reply

The Blooming Gardener on Oct 11, 2014UK 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.Helpful Reply

Kimberly Saxton Scruggs on Mar 03, 2015Looks 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!Helpful Reply
