dead nettle
I was going to buy a red dead nettle to plant as ground cover in a shady corner. Just wondered if there is any reason why I shouldn't just transplant some of the wild dead nettle that is growing in  the street outside? To be clear I'm not talking by tulipgirl

but remember not to plant it too deep as it will sulk and not flower. If you are moving the tulips and hellebores soon make sure you get a decent amount of soil around the root balls when you dig them up and replant at the same depth. Are you sure it's mould by Louise Stevenson

and Tulips, at planting time, those that don't get put into the garden, get put into large plastic pots, I can then put them into displays where shrubs etc grow, when display finished take them out after of course, dead heading and feeding,and put them by torsi
