    How often are you watering and how much of it?

    Thank you everyone, clearly the lady at the garden centre didn't know much, she said to plant them 3 times their depth in the ground. Anyway I'll find myself a tray to put them in, I'll get them sorted tomorrow, how far apart do they need to be?

    Clearly she knows  not a lot, they are not even bulbs, nothing like, you plant a bulb about six inches deep, these sit on the surface.

    What do you want to know about the Denticulata, grow like weeds here, I have an annual cull and they go in the compost bin.

    cant guess what the other one is, maybe you can get indentification from the Internet.

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    I thought the denticulata was quite pretty, when you say they grow like weeds, do you mean grow and grow or are a pain like weeds?

    Anyone know what is going on with these? They aren't doing much and have been on the window sill for weeks now? Help image

    I've been watering them most days. One one of them there is a few hard bits growing off them. They smell fine, they just don't seem to be doing anything ????
