  • White bluebells...really a thing?

    Our bluebells seem to be turning white, is this possible? Didn't have any white bluebells at all a few years ago now we have loads, any idea why? Just had a thought, is it actually a bluebell?

    Got few here. It's a sport. It's in the genes.

    Quite a few of my self sown primroses come up pink.

      Looks like a white version of the Spanish bluebell to me - which is the one most commonly seen in gardens. The wild bluebell is a bit different with narrower leaves and the flower spike bending over more towards the end - shaped like a fishing rod when there is something heavy on the line.

        I've never had a rod like that, drowned worms don't weigh much

          unlucky - most fishermen can at least claim an old boot or a shopping bag to get the feel of at least catching something :-)

            I think Spanish bluebell too. They come in white and pink as well as blue.
