Trouble growing Lily of the Valley

While sorting out one of my cold frames a few weeks ago I came across several small pots of LotV that I had potted up last year but did not get sold. Not needing any more in the garden, I stuck them all in an empty container. They are now thriving and just coming on to bloom. Of course I cannot say yet if they will continue to do well there but I don't see why not. So if you have a garden that will not accept LotV why not try them in a container? I'm going to find some vile old compost, a couple of stone of rubble and chuck some bulbs into a container with it. I'll let you know next year! Bulbs?! If you've got bulbs rather than rhizomes ("pips") then I'm not surprised you haven't got LofV coming up! Any chance of you getting some "in the green" and planting those? At least you'll know you've got healthy stock. -- Jeff |
