Default Do snakeshead fritillaries bite?


I have a bed where lily of the valley has got out of hand. Well, it
retires hurt when it meets Dana racemosa (no surprise there!), and
can't do more than hold its own against paeonies and (vigorous)
heather, but the real surprise is a patch of snakeshead fritillaries.
Not merely are they holding their own, they seem to be discouraging
it from growing through them at all. Yes, it does, but much less
vigorously than elsewhere.

Any comments?


Regards,
Nick Maclaren.
