The Spanish ones are sturdier, and have flowers all round the stem. They tend to stand more upright, too. I like that combination, too!

I love that combination too. Esther I have just rooted some cuttings of gold spiraea and I have a few Spanish bluebells (which have the tops eaten off by something every year) and will do the same.

Merlin, I don't mind where my plants come from. I have them from all over the world, but the English bluebells are nice in woods where they suit the situation. What is wrong with those bluebells in the picture? When mine are not eaten, they are pink, blue and white and much nicer than top heavy types which are grown indoors or outside.

Yes, but I don't think it matters in a garden. It's where there are bluebell woods close that the concern is that they'll hybridise and the Spanish ones take over. There are none around here, so I let them get on with it and enjoy the colour.
