All these from one original pot, think I might try them again. I see you have them near Hellebores- coolish shade?

yes they are under a very mature beech tree. cool and quite dry in the summer.

Thanks Seab and Amy, saw a pot 'in the green' in The Range didn't buy then, cause I have never established the dry corms. Think I will go get, just need an excuse to return to this DIY shop.
