The Bluebell Hyacinthoides non-scripta is a member of the lily family and survives under the dense shade of woodland when its green leaves emerge early in the year, well before the leaves of the trees open. This means the bluebell does most of it’s growing with plenty of light and so replenishes the nutrients stored in its bulb. Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote of the bluebell in the 19th Century, referring to them as ‘like the blue sky, breaking up through the earth’.
