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.

Hyacinthoides hispanica 'Pink', commonly known as Spanish Bluebells, reaches 10 to 12 inches tall, featuring soft pink, bell-shaped blooms that hang gracefully from slender stems. These fragrant flowers create a delicate woodland effect, naturalizing easily to form lush drifts over time.
Ideal for rock gardens, borders, and shaded areas, this variety thrives in part shade to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It is deer-resistant and easy to grow, returning reliably year after year for a charming late-spring display.
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.
