We have a purchased a home with quite a nice garden, recently
renovated, but the previous owners did not remove all the muscari
bulbs. In some parts of the garden they are in nice clumps and look
great in the spring - we are going to leave these. In other parts they
are stragglers all over the place, with no rhyme or reason, and they
don't look very nice beside all the other plants and tend to
overshadow these plants. The previous owners have added extra soil and
mulch, so unfortunately the bulbs are now sometimes over 12" deep,
hard to dig up and so close to the new plants that digging up these
Muscari bulbs will definetely damage the roots of the other plants.

We want to get rid of these Muscari. The only way I can think of is to
just keep pulling up new shoots each spring until the bulb eventually
dies off. Other than digging them up, which we consider dangerous, are
there any other options?

Any ideas appreciated.
