Over 100,000 daffodil bulbs have been planted in the City of White Plains since 2014 when White Plains Beautification Foundation started The Daffodil Project. With the expertise of Walter & Chris Ruigrok from A.D.R. Bulbs our public spaces have dazzled with daffodils. A.D.R. offers a wonderful range of choices and excellent quality bulbs at competitive pricing, and supported by excellent customer service. WPBF values its long-standing relationship with A.D.R. Bulbs.

Hyacinthoides hispanica Mix, commonly known as Spanish Bluebells, reaches 12 to 18 inches tall, featuring graceful, bell-shaped blooms in shades of lavender-blue, pink, and white. These nodding flowers cluster along slender stems, creating a soft, woodland-inspired display in late spring.
Ideal for naturalizing in woodlands, borders, and shaded gardens, this variety thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It is deer-resistant and rabbit-resistant, returning reliably year after year while attracting butterflies and pollinators.

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 4 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. Position with the pointed end up. For naturalized drifts, scatter bulbs and plant where they fall.
Location: Partial to full shade is ideal—perfect under deciduous trees or in woodland-style gardens.
Soil: Moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or leaf mold.
Watering: Keep soil moist during active growth in spring. Once foliage dies back, reduce watering—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 4–9. Requires a cold period to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring as shoots emerge.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulb. Remove spent flower stalks for tidiness.
Propagation: Naturalizes by offsets and self-seeding. Divide clumps in summer when dormant if needed.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Avoid overly wet conditions to prevent bulb rot.
