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!
If they're English bluebells, dig them up and sell them.

They are not likely to be, though, are they?

Why not? I'm puzzled.

Because most bluebells in gardens are of the Spanish variety - my garden is
infested with them.

I have this spinney at the bottom of my garden that I call my "wood" It's
only 30/40 metres but I've been planting it with native woodland plants for
many years and I cannot get "real " bluebells in there until I have no
Spanish that were planted by a previous occupant.

Sorry to suggest it, but glyphosate...

And Sainsbury's may still have some boxes of non-scripta if you hurry -
oh, and snakeshead lilies (fritillaries)
