@chicky any advice? Really want mine to do well. And hopefully spread, the bed they are in is isolated from others and so they can romp away to their heart’s content but they seem reluctant to establish
Lovely. I remember they always grew in my grandparent's garden and agree the perfume from them is lovely. I like how you have displayed them chicken. Mine look happy in tub at moment - did the same thing with some bluebells I brought from my parent's garden a few years ago and they flower every spring. Going over a bit now.
I’m afraid I just let them do their own thing @debs64, so no real tips from me. I think they just like the soil and conditions here, as they are popping up in a few places. Makes up for some of the things I can’t grow, no matter how hard I try .....like astrantias 🤣
@chicky for years I couldn’t grow pinks but after some excellent advice from @Fairygirl mine are thriving and flowering for their second year! Give it another go! Good luck
@chicky - that is so sweet! I'm like Dove - I want them to be more invasive! They just disappear. That said, I spotted the leaves of one and another one with a few flowers from the 20 pips I planted last year. Hopefully they will bravely try for of not world domination then domination of the shady spot they are in.
Mine have taken about 5 or 6 years of doing very little (coming up, flowering, dying down - no increase and anxiety every year that they wouldn't return) until this year about three times as many have popped up over a wider area. I'm delighted 🙂

Glad you have had success at last LG. Surprised how many comments and advice received since yesterday re my lily of valley plants. Seems you either hate them, love them or can't get them to grow. As always plenty of advice on GW forum.
