Just grab a handful of leaves and pull. A good many of the plants will come out of the ground in clumps, corms attached. Do this through the whole clump. It will leave sufficient corms in the ground for next year, but severely and suitably reduced. I have several varieties and love them all, each one has a place in my scheme of things. It works for me. Each when they have finished flowering and when the leaves start to go brown just pull. I think you will find that they will come out quite easily, especially if the ground is damp. Make sure there is nothing else growing near that you might remove by mistake. Failing that, just dig them up. There will always be corms left, there always is. g Bobbie. (who gardens by ear) Really? I suppose it saves you hands for . . . other things . . . ;-) I have read all the comments, and I've started digging over the grass and weed-ridden border... Sorry for slow response, I am avoiding sitting at the PC too much these days. -- Gordon H |
