    Help! I am assuming these will be a non starter for next year since they are growing already? Both packs said to plant in the autumn, which I did about a month ago (since I live in Scotland). Did they go in too early? None of my other bulbs are showing any sign of life yet?:scratch:

    The mild autumn we've had has started them off Lucyloo. I have Lupins coming into bloom for the third time this year. The poor plants don't know whether they're coming or going. :doh:

    When and if we get a winter this year, that should put them into dormancy and there's no reason why they shouldn't flower properly next year. :)

      Oh thanks Sheal, I actually pulled out one of the Persian buttercups out thinking it was a weed! Fingers crossed then. :doh:
