In pots
Last year when Focus were cutting back prior to closing down I bought
a load of bulbs in packs, They cost around 20p a pack. I potted them,many grew but didn't flower, now I have a pot with some form of Leucojum, its around 9 inches tall http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f.../Potbulb02.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f.../Potbulb01.jpg David @ the wet end of Swansea Bay |

It reproduces very easily from seed. I just take out the seeds from the ripe seedheads and plant them in pots which are left out over winter. You can soon have dozens of plants for very little effort. Would be nice if they had a scent, though. -- Jeff |

Bulbs are very deep too. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

I doubt I'll be around by the time they try to take over this place. One item of note, they are the only bulb other than dafs that the mice havn't tried to eat.
