@Silver surfer I went to a HPS talk by Troy Scott Smith head gardener Sissinghurst some years ago. They have been trying to clear them from the garden for years.
Sometimes plants or bulbs that are grown in conditions that are not their prefered spot can be a blessing. It is the best way to control them and enjoy their beauty. That is a lovely planting combo. Suze.
@Palustris Perhaps there is a squirrels at Sissinghurst?

Are you sure he wasn't talking about Crocus tommasianus.? pics show drifts of those.
@Silver surfer Sorry I was referring to the form that spreads everywhere! I have made a note of your planting combo, I will be sure to get the correct form C tommasinianus roseus if I can find it. I hope to move this summer so lots of good ideas are appreciated. Thanks Suze

It is under Sarcoccoca which is maybe cramping its style now it has grown wider.

Crocus tommasinianus roseus is quite rare.
