in early part of the year -yet the spring flowering bulbs reappear annually-well they do here anyway Not really sure Rick, are you talking about Spring bulbs or Summer ones? Yes, if you like, but snowdrops and anemone blanda grow in shade. Daffodils prefer by Rick greenfingers

help with dug up spring bulbs
, worth mentioning that snowdrops should never be left out of the ground or they'll dry up and die. Sorry, ignore my last post, I can't edit it. Yes, put them straight back in the ground, especially if the leaves haven't finished dying back yet by bossdaddy

Suggestions please
soil, and flowered right from January to the end of April (one is just about still going). If the trees are deciduous snowdrops and autumn crocus should be ok. I also understand that lungwort (pulmonaria) tolerates both shade and clay but have never by Jo Stephenson

Talkback: Most loved plants
because of the bad weather but the buds are about to burst. I also love snowdrops in their infinite variety and scrutinise my promiscuous spread every year for a good new one. We usually love whoever or whatever needs us so I expect many peoples by titaflan
