Description
Hyacinthoides non-scripta 'Rosea', known as the pink bluebell, is a pale pink-flowered form of the famous wood hyacinth. It is a fairly rare bulb, whose graceful flower stalks will enliven the undergrowth and semi-shaded gardens. Originating from Western Europe, this easy-to-grow variety adds a touch of charm and colour to spring.
Hyacinthoides non-scripta, from the Asparagaceae family, is sometimes called the 'nodding bluebell', 'small hyacinth', or 'nodding endymion'. It is a perennial herbaceous plant with a bulb, native to the woodlands of Western Europe. This woodland botanical species is accustomed to moist, humus-bearing, and siliceous soils, but it can be easily cultivated in well-prepared garden soil. The 'Rosea' form is extremely rare in nature. Its storage organ is an ovoid bulb covered with a skin. Vegetation emerges from the ground in spring: the bulb produces a tuft of long, narrow, shiny, bright green basal leaves. This nodding bluebell grows rapidly, reaching about 30 cm high and spreading laterally by producing numerous daughter bulbs. Flowering takes place in April-May. Fleshy stems emerge from the foliage, bearing on their curved terminal part a cluster of small semi-pendulous bell-shaped flowers, all arranged on the same side of the stem. This slightly fragrant flowering is nectar-rich, attracting bees. The flowers are followed by capsules containing seeds that easily germinate the following spring.
The pink bluebell is a truly charming wild plant: over time, it forms large flowering carpets under deciduous trees, in clearings and in semi-shaded areas of the garden. It is best to give it a slightly neglected corner: when it is happy, this little bulb spreads and naturalises. It naturally associates with its blue or white forms (White/Blue Wood Hyacinth Collection), daffodils, hellebores, and wood anemone Anemone nemorosa.

Planting and care
The 'Rosea' bluebell appreciates relatively humid and cool climates, it thrives in most regions, except those dry and hot. Give it good loosened garden soil enriched with leaf compost that will remain slightly moist in summer. Choose a morning sun exposure, semi-shaded, or even shaded. Plant it in clumps of 3 to 5, covered with 8 cm of good soil, along borders, flower beds, at the base of trees, 10 cm apart. The plants multiply easily once they are established. This native plant has no enemies in our gardens.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
