Following up to Victoria Clare

It may be that it didn't get on with my heavy clay soil, or that it should
have been in a south facing rather than east-facing bed.

I'm on well drained soil on south sloping Kent "terroir" which
will suit bulbs better than clay, wont it.
It may not be Saffron Walden but I think it might be worth a try.
