This breaks my heart: Spanish bluebells (left) spreading out of gardens into the wild, now a common sight across Ireland.
Native bluebells (right) are so lovely, but will be pushed out.
Why are non-native species known to be invasive STILL being sold in garden centres?

We urge them to act now or history will judge them.
