RE: Bluebells, you little beauty

in #bluebells6 years ago (edited)

I liked this flower very much. I saw it growing in our fields. A perennial bulbous ephemeroid plant 25-30 cm tall. The leaves are narrow, linear, gathered in the rosette. The flowers are blue-purple, pink or white; bell-shaped, with a diameter of up to 1.5 cm, are collected on the top of the peduncle in a racemose inflorescence. It blooms in late May-June.
The plant is light-requiring, but it is able to endure partial shade. Soils like well-fertilized, moderately wet, without stagnant water. Relatively winter-hardy, in conditions of central Russia needs a small shelter.
It belongs to the juvenile plant - once every three years it must be divided and transplanted. Propagated by bulbs and seeds.
Looks impressive in the form of small groups, an excellent cut plant. Thank you for an interesting post.
