Grape Hyacinths

Systemic weedkiller didn't do much to them. They are speading and growing lots of new bulbs. Can anyone please tell me how I can destroy them. I had that problem once. They make good compost: show them no mercy! Yes, they're a gorgeous blue. But if they like your garden, what starts as a scattering of gorgeous blue flowers in spring becomes a solid mat of bulbs and juicy green leaves smothering everything else in the garden later in the year. To add insult to injury, nothing eats them, not slugs, not snails, not mice, *nothing*! I dug up 3 buckets full on Monday, onto the compost heap they went. I had had no flowers for two years, and they were crowding everything else out. Mike www.british-naturism.org.uk |
