Ever since I first found out about the Spanish bluebells, I've realised they and the hybrids are everywhere! Makes it a joy to see the odd English on tucked away in the corners of gardens though. They appear to be doing well in the woods still where they dominate or are far away from gardens.
I recently made video myself visiting my local bluebell woods, you really helped me identify which species they were, thank you! I didn't realise the differences were so great, seeing them like this makes them look quite distinctive.
I have a good question: what if your had a hybrid native bluebell and back cross it with a pure native bluebell, that over time the spanish gene will fade and the native will be more dominate?
Enjoyed learning the difference between the bluebells. Here in South Carolina the Spanish Bluebells are in bloom right now. I will need to see if they happen to have any scent at all. I believe there are pink and white cultivars of the Spanish Bluebell.🌸 I assume there is a difference in heat toleration between the species?

A concise and clear comparison. Thank you.
Thanks for this video. It's a very useful document.

That's great to hear Chloe. Glad the video was of help.
Just back from our walk through bluebell heaven,millions of them and the smell is amazing ,on our nature reserve x
Very clear explanation, thank you
Thank you Susan. Glad you enjoyed it.
Very clear & helpful. Thank you.
Lovely
Thank you for your very interesting and instructive video. I'll be much more aware of the differences when next in a bluebell wood.
Thank you Nina, glad you found it informative. April to June are the times to look out for bluebells.
Dun na Ri in Cavan is carpeted in them. Beautiful sight!
What about the white bluebells? Do the Spanish bluebells produce white flowers too?
Nice vid

I have all three colours.
As a former Briton living in Canada I do miss the sight of bluebells. Is there a difference between Irish and English and Northern European bluebells?
The ones I have are English Bluebells!!
I saw white blue bells
