Hyacinthoides hispanica 'Alba' | White Spanish Bluebells

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Hyacinthoides hispanica ‘Alba’ produces upright stems bearing open, bell-shaped flowers in pure white, arranged in loose, graceful clusters. Blooming in mid to late spring, the blossoms rise above narrow, glossy green leaves that form tidy clumps at the base. The lightly scented flowers face outward, creating a bright, airy effect that lasts several weeks as spring transitions toward early summer.

Native to the Iberian Peninsula, this white-flowering selection has long been cultivated in European gardens. It works well in borders, woodland settings, and naturalized areas, where it weaves easily among spring bulbs and early perennials. ‘Alba’ also performs reliably beneath deciduous trees and along garden paths, providing soft seasonal color before summer growth fills in.
