Talkback: Snowdrop days

'm in heaven. :) A. Arnott is our favourite here too!!! We got some from a friend, who has since died, but the snowdrops live on, and we think of our friend every year when they come out. I was given one bulb of G. magnum by a friend at our Alpine garden by Lainey

Hypericum Magical Red Star Pruning?

this one. They were a weed in our garden when we arrived here some 17 years ago, and we still have the occasional outbreak! I'd certainly cut them back hard now if I were you. I do have a very small one in an alpine bed, grows to about 12 inches by diggingdoris

s it possible to to exchange seeds between Dutch, English and Scottish gardener
