Although the standard references do not record this species as occurring in the wild around here, we do find it escaping here and there; and it seems to be happening more frequently. It is probably time to recognize it as a naturalized citizen. These plants were part of a small patch blooming in the woods in Bird Park, Mount Lebanon.

For a description of the species, see the Hyacinthoides non-scripta reference page.

Comments

Though they are not recorded as wild in Pennsylvania by the usual botanical authorities, these dainty bells sometimes pop up unexpectedly as volunteers. This small volunteer patch has been at the same place in Beechview for a few years now, so we can regard it as established and spreading.
