I don't know why Hyacinthoides non-scripta would not do well in North Carolina, where Nick now lives. They are vigorous (a bit too much) here in western Oregon, which is probably colder in winter. I grew mine from wild-collected seed to avoid getting hybrids with the dreaded H. campanulata (Spanish bluebell). The latter was, of course, on this property when I bought it, and I have no more hope of eliminating it than of getting rid of bracken.
