The Wild Hyacinth and Bluebell

The wild hyacinth and bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta, synonym: Scilla non-scripta) is a plant of the asparagus family (Asparagaceae).


The plant has already been described by Carl Linnaeus, who the non-scripta species name given to this plant because unlike the hyacinths no white characters in the bloemdekbaden could discern. Linnaeus reported him to the hyacinths (Hyacinthus). Later the plant in the genus Scilla classified. Now the plant is classified in the genus Hyacinthoides.

The leaves are grass-shaped, long and 0.3 to 1 cm.


The fragrant flowers are tubular to slightly bell-shaped and have yellow anthers. Only the tips of the tepals recurved. The flowers are grouped shaped spray, and hung to one side. White copies are often found. Pink forms are rare. The fruit is ovoid, the seeds have a black color.


Favorite place in deciduous forests. The plant reproduces by seed and vegetatively by forming bijbolletjes.
