On a hike across the northern counties of England a while back I was enchanted by the sometimes-vast swathes of bluebells. I managed to get 100 real Hyacinthoides non-scripta bulbs and planted them in various places hoping to find somewhere that they would succeed in my climate (Tennessee) which is eminently not suitable for them. In places in dead shade they seem to be prospering but in what should be light shade under deciduous trees they don't do well since they come up well before the trees leaf out.
Last week I noticed that one plant in the non-favored location was showing white flowers while all the others which were in bloom were the normal shade. Do I have some sort of exotic sport with white blooms or is this something that happens often? I failed to mark the odd plant but if it does the same next year and if it seems worthwhile I'll try to move it to a better location where it might multiply.
