The true English Bluebell is a must-have plant for any wild or woodland garden. Gently arching stems carry pendant bells of purple-blue frilled blooms, filling the air with fragrance on warm April days.
This classic spring beauty is easy to grow and will naturalise in humus-rich soil in dappled shade, forming a picture-perfect carpet of blue. The flowers are adored by bees, attracted to the white pollen-dusted stamens by their perfume and vibrant colouring.
A native gem which looks beautiful planted with Primroses and Wood Anemones for a wild and quintessential British look.

English by birth. Polite by nature.
Something quietly noble dwells within English Bluebells. English Bluebells do not clamour or push forward for notice. Yet, each spring, they arrive with serene dignity, settling beneath trees or tracing the edges of borders, casting soft enchantment into the semi-shade.
These are not the boisterous Spanish intruders which barge through the woods without grace. These are the true ones - Hyacinthoides non-scripta - pure and undisturbed. That familiar violet-blue carries the kind of beauty which does not need to explain itself. Their posture is unmistakable, with heads gently bowing as if in reverence; then there is the scent - subtle, sweet, and unmistakable. When this fragrance reaches you, spring has fully arrived.
Normally priced at £46.95 with postage, we offer 20 of our finest English Bluebell bulbs for just £18.75 with FREE delivery, giving you a bargain 60% discount.
English Bluebells find joy in the forgotten places. Dappled light, undisturbed corners - these are where they flourish. While other plants struggle, these peacefully get on with the work of putting on a display. No showmanship. No urgency. Over time, forming carpets, not clumps - nothing forced, only natural ease. You never need to interfere, but somehow, you end up proud of what unfolds.
Ferns, hellebores, the shelter of a deciduous canopy – your bluebells will settle in alongside, never competing, always complementing. Plant your bluebells once, and they return with loyalty and grace.
At de Jager, our bulbs carry a legacy of care, stretching back over 150 years. Our English Bluebells are cultivated, never stolen from the wild.
If you have walked through a bluebell wood, you know the sensation - a kind of still wonder you wish could be kept. This is your chance to bring this feeling home. A quiet, returning proof that some of the finest moments in gardening do not ask for praise. They simply appear. Your fresh and healthy 20 English Bluebell bulbs will be with you beginning of October.
