Notes
'Miss World' Spanish bluebell (Hyacinthoides hispanica 'Miss World') is a bulb for borders, containers, woodland gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Light blue-violet flowers open in early to late spring and attract bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. A.J. Duykersloot bred it.
Pairs well with Monte Carlo tulip, Fringed bleeding heart, Spring Green tulip, and Sedge.
