    Hi. For the second year running I am pleased to say that bluebells from the nearby wood have sprung upin my garden - both new shoots from last year's and other, new bluebells. I generally water them a little while doing the others, but considering that they are wild, and in their habitat locally do not get any watering, need I do this? Could the watering actually hinder them? Or, because they are not in their native habitat but in a garden with different soil conditions, could it be of help? They are the spanish bluebells (Endymion hispanica) variety. Thanks.

    Simon, leave them alone. If they weren`t happy in your garden, they wouldn`t be there. So NO MORE WATERING.:D:D:dbgrtmb:
