This is the problem Bob Bob. I bought the bulbs as English bluebells. Clearly something is going wrong. I bought them at a local outlet and will have to go in and ask some questions.
Further to the Spanish bluebell problem, I was driving home today along a country road about 5 miles from here and saw some blue flowers growing along a grass verge by a hedge.
On slowing down I saw they were bluebells, dozens of them and the flower stems were upright, no sign of drooping. Surely Spanish or hybrids. Is this problem already out of control?
my front garden is full of apnish bluebells, i've dug some up every year since we've loived her (3 years) but they multiply, I'd love english ones but no point unless i can eradicate the spanish ones, which are nice enough flowers but I'd be so upset if our native bluebells got swamped

I was in a local garden centre a couple of days ago and they had English bluebells, all in flower, sharing the table with flowering Spanish Bluebells.
And this is a dedicated garden centre not a gardening section of another store.
