All the top growth has died off, but the bulbs are very small. Am I right
in thinking they won't get any bigger if left in the ground?
Thanks

Sadly, yes. Mine are looking very yellow at the mo and I'll have them up
next visit. The ground is very waterlogged and lots of stuff is not up to
scratch, this is going to be a very poor year.

My Solent White are variable. Some are a decent size, others not.
Tuscany White was very small and has gone on the compost heap. I have
more planted in pots and I'm waiting to see if they are an
improvement. I also planted Marco. Even the tops look disappointing.
