plant ID help
Greetings,
I'm trying to identify these plants, can anyone help?
They originated as small dark spikes poking up, and now are green with little flower heads starting to form, similar to a blue bell or something.
i guess the last owner of the garden planted them. but they are taking up valuable real estate and i need to know whether to get them out !!
thanks

They look like Lily of the Valley to me. I love them - beautiful scent and lovely in a little vase on the table. Some people think they're too invasive but I wish they'd grow in this garden.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Yes, Lily of the valley. I posted a picture of mine on garden pictures yesterday.
Thanks guys!
i'll keep them then! its great to meet new plants. I always thought these were an indoor plant for shady rooms
Oh no, i'm thinking of peace lily.
ok, over and out.
Lily of the Valley smell much nicer than Peace Lily

Took me seven years to get them to grow here, now they are everywhere, including many areas where I did not plant them!! Love them though, and although they do spread, they are easy enough to pull up or plant between.
I think a certain amount of entropy is paramount in any garden.
Its one of the instructive elements that i find gardens and nature offer: in this case, don't try and control everything !
