Grape hyancinths
I seem to have these little beggars all over the garden now, in the cracks,
in the beds, even in the pots and things. They've been popping up all over the place. I'm wondering if I should take some action to stop them before they spread further, but probably don't want to eradicate them entirely, although maybe it wouldn't be such a sad thing if they all went. What should I do? -- Androo (Remove your clothes to reply) |

But if you must, just pull up the bulbs you don't want and give them away to other people but try to leave the leaves on to die back naturally in pots of soil or compost. Otherwise, mark where they are before they die back, leave them to do so and then dig them up and pas them on to others. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon |

I probably won't get rid of them all, just try to confine them to a small area. Good idea to give them to somebody else. They just seemed to spend a lot of time looking like grass, and then the flowers aren't particularly exciting when they come. Androo |

Don't let them seed! Really don't let them seed! Put the leaves on your compost heap but never the bulbs. Offer them to others only if you cope well with ridicule. -- Sue ];( |
