I inherited lots of Spanish bluebells. I picked my first bunch for a kitchen vase last week, might pick some more this evening.
Like Veggie, I let them do their thing unless they are in the way.
A few of them look like they have some English in their genes, but I don't have any pure-bred English ones.
As an aside, I remember reading that in conditions that are ideal for the English ones, they out-compete the continental invaders. I seem to recall it said that English ones are more tolerant of the lower light conditions in our deciduous woodland. It's just in brighter light, such as in our gardens, that the Spanish ones take over.
