A:
The best time to sow the seeds is soon after they are harvested: late April/May. But you can sow them anytime between then and December. Bluebell seed loses viability if kept in storage for too long. It needs endure a cold, moist period in order to germinate.

Q:
What other species would be good to plant among bluebells? They will flop over and outwards to 18" from the root-center, so do the accompanying plants need to be planted more than 18" away?
