plants in flower for a December wedding?
can grow?-that flower in December? Very difficult if doing it yourself. White hyacinths and Paperwhite daffodils can flower in December. Probably best to ask a florist what they can provide. They will have access to flowers grown under glass. There by Jean Ewing

Getting rid of daffodils
Help! We made some 2' high raised veggie beds in a corner of our new garden last summer - not realising there were daffodils deep in the soil in that area.  The bulbs have sprouted in the beds and I need to get rid of them. I estimate the bulbs must by Topbird

can i plant sprouting doffidil bulbs now?
Elin, do you mean daffodil bulbs that have not been planted and have sprouted in the pack? The answer is yes. You won't get much this year but they may recover and grow well next year. If your going to plant them and leave them there for ever by elin reeve

Flowering over
Now that my daffodils have finished flowering my garden looks very untidy have I got to wait till leaves turn brown before doing anything? Hopefully you've cut all the flowerheads off. Generally the advice is to let the leaves die down naturally by Meggiemay
