I have these growing up in my hedges, and I think they're awfully
pretty. Can you tell me anything about them?
Kind thanks!
Kerria japonica - suckers like a demon so keep an eye on it!
Just to show you how ignorant I am I thought it was Bachelor's Button -
but that's only because that's what a couple of my friends call it!
You're right about it suckering. It's infesting my garden from a
neighbour's.
I've just googled for Bachelor's Button and find it's a cornflower.
Well, you learn something every day .......!
