Bluebells ~V~ Ivy

Hi guys

I'm asking a question on behalf of my mum. She looks after the wildlife garden at the local animal rescue and has noticed this year that the number of flowering Bluebells have decreased and the ground is becoming increasing covered by Ivy.

Do you think the Ivy is the cause of the loss of the Bluebells?

 

No Yvonne, they are usually both as rampant as each other!

 

I agree with Sheal but the ivy may be taking up too much moisture out of the soil and the bulbs are drying out over the summer
