I can't be the only one who's noticed a significant increase in bluebells shooting up this spring? And in places that they most certainly have not been intentionally planted? This is likely because the majority are now Spanish bluebells, a far more invasive variety that is not as welcome for the welfare of our gardens.
As a result, one professional gardener is urging homeowners to check which type of bluebell is growing, to stop them taking over. “Spanish bluebells can spread more easily than our native species, so gardeners need to be aware of how quickly they can multiply," warns Chris Bonnett, plant expert and founder of Gardening Express.
