Spanish Bluebells

Pale blue-purple flowers that are conical or bell-shaped. The flowers have spread out tips, which hang when in bloom. Flowers are on short stalks and are located on all sides of the stem. Each plant has 4-8 oblong leaves. The flowers have almost no scent.

Spanish Bluebells are an invasive species that spreads rapidly and can aggressively compete with native spring-blooming wildflowers. Recommendation from the US National Park Service is to dig them out (and all roots) while they are in leaf because the bulbs are almost impossible to find when the plant is dormant.
