Thats strange DD as the same happened to mine, the first year they were great, last year just a couple of leaves no flowers, but this year they're all flowering, weird.
Thanks Tommymoo :-)

The usual question Kathy .. did you grow them from seed? I grew some in the autumn but only a couple survived and now I've planted them out, I cant find them.

No Dawn bought these as bulbs from Wilko's, oh dear never know they may pop up another year :-)

I must go to Wilkos then Kathy, we love Wilkos, so would they be classed as Spring bulbs for setting in the Autumn?

Yes Dawn, had quite a good selection and think this one was only a couple of quid for 5.

Thanks Kathy, I'll look out for them in early Autumn, a good buy that.
