If she really is your friend, I would advise against planting
muscari in the first place. I've been battling against a horde
of the d****d things for over ten years in my quite large gardens
and still they keep popping up
Pity really because they are a beautiful plant; but then that
can be said of almost every plant, couldn't it?...
snipped....
Then again I can't get bluebells to spread, either. About the only
things that do in my garden are welsh poppies, periwinkle (UGH!) and
primroses...
Bluebells - now that I've got them under control - and Primroses
which aren't as yet responding to my almost daily chats, are
probably my favourites.
I supposethat there's a moral there somwhere. No matter how
long one may garden, it's only rarely that perfection may be reached.
