An Otford resident calle for my help recently concerned of a flower growing viciously in her garden
The worst part? It looks like a native bluebell.
Bad news - it’s an invasion killing your plants without you noticing, putting your garden at risk from blooming this spring.
It drain nutrients fast, very fast, meaning only one thing… it also grows very very fast.

But the biggest risk is something conservation groups are trying to stop before it’s too late.
Hybridisation. If this happens they will quickly take over any native species you have in your garden leaving no room for your other plants.
This flower is the Spanish bluebell
As a local gardener I’ve been helping residents protect their flowers from them by clearing flowerbeds and making sure their bulbs are fully removed.
A very hard task as their bulbs are so deep and prone to spreading seeds so easily.
