English bluebells - do they come in pink?

Do English bluebells come in pink and white or are these hybrids?

If they do come in other colours, does anyone know a reliable source? I don't want to buy bulbs and then discover they are actually Spanish bluebells. I'm trying to eradicate these from my garden.

Although white and pink do occur naturally in English bluebells it is a pretty rare occurrence and I would doubt that any white or pink flowered plants in commerce are Hyancinthoides non-scripta. More likely to be Spanish bluebells or hybrids.

The pink and white ones will almost certainly be a hybrid form. I wouldn't bother with them.
