{Hyacinthoides Hispanica Excelsior - Spanish Blue Bell or Wood Hyacinth}

These porcelain blue beauties in our garden do turn to a more lavender color towards the final stage of blooming. Either way; they are stunning and fragrant too. They thrive well and rodents do not eat their bulbs and they're also deer resistant. They too are part of the garden tour with Book an Event with us. We have them near the gazebo, on our property line.
Hyacinthoides hispanica Excelsior make excellent cutflowers as well. Here they are shown in a vase on a handcrochetd placemat that I've made.

    Dear Mariette
    I love your Spanish Blue Bell, they are so pretty and I will try to find them here in Norway, so I can plant them in my garden.

    Hello mariette,
    I have this Spanish Scilla also in my garden but they need some days to bloom. But I love them for their abundance on flowers.
    Greetings, Johanna
