Hyacinthoides hispanica Dainty Maid (Spanish Bluebells)

Charming, Hyacinthoides hispanica 'Dainty Maid' (Spanish Bluebells) is a robust, bulbous perennial with attractive clumps of glossy strap-shaped leaves from which rise tall stems to support its 15-20 pendant, bell-shaped, violet-pink flowers. Blooming heartily from mid to late spring, 'Dainty Maid' is perfect to lighten up the shady garden. Easy to grow, low care and incredibly good-looking, it is a reliable addition to the landscape, where it will happily multiply in optimum growing conditions.

• Typically forms spreading clumps up to 12-15 in. tall (30-37 cm).
• Easy to grow, this plant is rarely affected by pests or diseases and is resistant to deer and rodents! Just plant it and forget about it!
• Plant in average, moist, well-drained soils in partial shade. While full sun will promote flowering, be aware that the lovely colors of the blossoms may fade. Tolerates drought and dry sandy soils.
