Hyacinthoides lingulata
Hyacinthoides lingulata is a species of bulbous plant that lives in North Africa, from Morocco to Tunisia.[2] 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.[3] 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.[3]
