Hi everyone, can someone identify this for me? I planted it a while ago and I can't remember what it was! Need some labels lol

    Thanks, I'm going to let it really really grow before taking it out of the cold frame



    Thanks again guys

    ..but if you let oxalis get out of hand you'll never get rid of it!  Those bulbils get everywhere!   Or maybe the cultivated ones are less invasive?

    I'd be surprised if that one got out of hand.

    so this will  live for two years straight through without dying back??

     

    I'm new to growing really as this is my first season with my cold frame and I'm very happy with the (little) results image

    It should live for years Daniel but it will die back in winter

    ok thanks

    another question, i have a hosta growing right next to it (you can just about see it on the photo) will that die back and will they be ok so close to each other??

    hostas die back in winter.

    Hosta can be quite big. I didn't notice there were two plants. The hosta is most likely to put up with being moved
