Hi all

I am hoping to underplant two narrow strips along a driveway in which
there
are white-barked birch trees growing. Does anyone know if it would be OK
to
plant Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla mollis) and underplant with
spring-flowering
bulbs, ie snowdrops, daffodils & tulips. Would the Alchemilla roots
eventually prevent the bulbs emerging?


In my experience, well established Alchemilla will tend to smother almost
everything. Use with care, would be my advice.
