H.non-scripta is particularly associated with ancient woodland where it may dominate the understorey to produce carpets of violet–blue flowers in " bluebell woods", but also occurs in more open habitats in western regions. It is protected under UK law, and in some other parts of its range. A related species, H.hispanica has also been introduced to Britain and Ireland and hybridises with H.non-scripta to produce intermediates known as H.× massartiana . Taxonomy [ edit ] This is even more of an issue when Spanish and English bluebells are planted in the same area. These two plants hybridize to form Hyacinthoides xmassartiana ,a plant with characteristics from both bluebell types. This hybridization is one of the reasons bluebells are considered endangered in the United Kingdom. There are also some mutations to the bluebells and you will sometimes see white or pink bluebells. These are a special treat within the mass of blue that is commonly seen. a b Steve Davis; Anna Trias-Blasi. " Hyacinthoides non-scripta (bluebell)". Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
