Hyacinthoides

Flowers in the small genus Hyacinthoides bloom best in a site with ample moisture in early spring. They spread discreetly but steadily. Bluebells are later bloomers, and useful in the transition from early-spring bulbs to the abundant show of June perennials. Both the Spanish Bluebell (Hyacinthoides hispanica) and the smaller, fragrant English Bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) are deer-resistant.
