The Spanish bluebell ‘Excelsior’ (Hyacinthoides hispanica ‘Excelsior’) is a wild hyacinth-like flower that abundantly blooms in May. The Spanish bluebell exists in the colours pink, blue and white. Excelsior is the blue one. The small bell-shaped flowers hang freely on the 20-30 cm long stems. Hyacinthoides will naturalise on their own if they are planted in a sunny spot on the perimeter of the garden. This variety used to be part of the Scilla Campanulata family – the larger size varieties of scilla.

Other information

  • Maak eerst de grond waar de hyacintenbollen geplant zullen worden goed los. Dan is de grond makkelijker te bewerken.
  • Graaf een gat en zorg dat het 2 tot 3 keer zo diep is als de hoogte van de bollen. Zorg dat de afstand tussen de bollen 2 keer zo groot is als de diameter van de bollen.
  • Plant de bloembollen in het gat met de puntige kant naar boven of met de wortelbasis naar beneden. 
  • Bedek de hyacintenbollen met aarde en geef ze goed water.
