Description
The Siberian Bluebell opens in March and April with nodding, intensely indigo blue star-shaped flowers and effortlessly spreads into blue carpets under trees and in lawns. This low-maintenance bulb flower is an important early pollen source and is considered exceptionally winter-hardy.
Care instructions
Plant the small bulbs in September or October at a depth of 5 to 8 cm in well‑draining soil, in full sun or partial shade. It requires almost no care and tolerates summer drought well. Allow the foliage to die back naturally and mow lawns with bluebells only after the leaves have yellowed, so the population can consolidate.
