celandine, every little bit makes a new plant
Pretty yellow flowers though and disappears completely in the summer
In the sticks near Peterborough
celandine. Nasty little thing spreads by tiny bulbs on its root.
OK - thanks for that. I suppose the best way to get rid of it is to keep digging it out?
You can try ... few succeed ... the rest of us either go mad, give up gardening or take the line of least resistance and learn to enjoy them ...
I actually look forward to seeing them ... and I have planted a cultivar http://www.perennials.com/plants/ranunculus-ficaria-brazen-hussy.htmlin this garden. That being said, it's not as 'spreading' as the wild type.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I like them too. They'll be gone soon and you can forget about them til next year.
We have them in the part of the lawn we don't mow til late July to enjoy wild flowers, they are pretty and needed if this weather continues to keep us in the dark.
Hosta, celandine would look gorgeous on that bank under your oak tree

tsk, no it wouldn't. grr
tee hee tetley.
I am thinking a bank of snowdrops might be rather cheery though.
I have a serious celandine problem. I continue to dig them up and will blast it with weed killer as soon as the weather is suitable. Horrid stuff!!!!
