It used to be a nice clump but it is getting smaller with every year. Very early blooming perennial but we are way behind with our spring. (Alternative to daffs?)

They were saying on the news last night that studies of blue tit nests over a period of 40 years in Oxfordshire has shown our springs are 3 weeks earlier now than they were when studies began.
Pretty doronicums, one of my spring favourites, Klahanie.

Lovely doronicum, mine do very well, but are loved by the snails too..:((

mine rarely last a couple of years. I tend to buy £2 ones from the supermarket as they don't last. Cheaper than a bunch of flowers.

These are very pretty. I have never grown these. The leaves look very nice too.

Like Homebird I've never grown them either. I like the look of the flowers though! I have seen them growing in gardens around here but that's all. Shame your plants are getting smaller every year! Have you tried transplanting them elsewhere?

If you do I hope you get some good results!

Yours might be getting smaller, but its way better than mine.
