Anyone got any tried and tested methods to rid an area off these plants
and corms please? All around tree and shrub/hedging too. Lovely orange
flowers but now just a jungle and invasive. My idea was to do the 'just
dig them all out' method. Can there be any other way? Prob not. Just
wanna be sure they don't return cos I know how persistent these wee
fellas can be!! Thanks anybody.


keep chopping the stalks off as they appear
(mow them if it is a big enough area).

they'll give up eventually.
