When I moved house last year one corner of my new garden was awash with
bluebells. They looked very pretty but took up a huge amount of space and
seemed to be marching up the garden as time went on. The area was cleared
as part of a garden redesign but they have now reappeared in force and have
spread all over the beds I cleared last year as well as reappearing in the
corner. I had dug deep and removed as many of the bulbs as I could.
How else can I rid my garden of these plants or at least limit them to one
area? It's a shame to have to remove them all, but I can't have a garden
full of bluebells and nothing else!


Blue bells are an increasingly rare wild flower. You should welcome
them.


And they won't mind if you plant things with them. I can't see the
problem, unless - well - I can't see the problem.

Tell you what, if you're not too far away I'll com and dig them up for
you - and plant them on my plot...
