    My guess is it was the ants  :)

    I just leave them to it.  Nature knows how to do it when it comes to native plants so I let her save me the trouble. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Dove very kindly sent me some of hers last year - I've done exactly as she says.  ;)
    Hope you succeed with them Garden Noob. Lovely little plants   :)

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • They are a special favourite of small brown furries. With luck you will find some seedlings growing where the furries have deposited them after enjoying eating them. I have seedling hardy cyclamen popping up in the most inhospitable places, crevices in walls, gravel paths etc. which is an example of the conditions they need for growing.
