I have them growing in my garden ,I got them from a friend out of her garden about 3 yrs ago.

And this yr has been there best as they have bloomed for the 1st time.

I grow four or five different ones. They are woodland bulbs, growing a few inches tall, for a position in light shade in a soil that does not dry out.

they are usually trouble free and easy to grow. I have several cultivars and they like some light shade and thrive in the woodland fringes. Mine are predominantly in the edge of the canopy from my Beech tree.

Thank you all.....I am going to give them a try....I think them very beautiful

I want more of these too only have the yellow so far, fab display at Harrogate yesterday :-)

I'm going tomorrow I hope to be able to buy some nice ones. but the last day is probably leaving it too late as they will have been snapped up by the early birds like you Simbad.

Oooo hope you have a nice time Sbg :-), I didn't buy any,couldn't get near that stall it was heaving,did get a couple of nice epimediums, two lovely ferns and some new heucheras, I was quite restrained lol and of course the usual homemade curds and sausages mmmm.

There was also a feature on Beechgrove about them - I think you guys get it tomorrow morning rather than Thursday nights.
