Hyacinthoides lingulata is a small bulbous plant from North Africa that flowers in autumn when the rains start, with pale, bluebell-like flowers. It is grown as a bulb under glass in cooler climates and needs a dry summer rest followed by watering from early autumn.
Hyacinthoides lingulata is a species of bulbous plant that lives in North Africa, from Morocco to Tunisia. It is widespread in short grass and agricultural fields, flowering in autumn when the rains begin. The flowers are generally paler than the common bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), but have a similar scent. Its leaves are not fully hardy, and it is usually grown under glass in the British Isles, where it requires a dry rest in summer and watering from early September until it dies back in May.
