Bluebells. Bulbous plant suitable for naturalising under trees in (semi-)shade. Softly scented blue flowers. The offer comes from a Dutch nursery. The breeder does his best to keep the stock pure, but it is possible that some H. x massertiana will be found in it (a natural cross between H. non-scripta and the native H. hispanica).
