Where has this come from?

Well thanks to the warm welcome and help so far, so a few yrs ago i made a raised bed with a water feature in the middle, and last yr and this yr this arrived now i never put it there so is it a weed? thanks....

centre of the picture with the blue flowers?

 

I have these in my garden, never known what they are called as I was given them by my mum, but I just had a look on the bbc site for you and I think it's these Grape hyacinth...

Indeed they are! My borders are full of them. They can become a nuisanse as they appear everwhere over time. I'm happy to have them on my patch as they make for a lovely wave of blue, and it's easy to dig them out.

 

Yep thats what they are, you are pretty lucky cos i had to go buy mine :D

 

thanks guys.....

 

Oh b*m, i could have answered that - only time ever since joining:(

TBH, only cos i had mine identified on here even before the flowers came up (good old gc). I didn't plant mine, well i can't remember planting them! Yours look better than mine, maybe mine will look like yours next year.

cheers

 

You`ll all be sorry, when they`ve taken over your gardens.:D:D:D

 

Course if you feed them and separate them they will get fatter and bluer and give a much better display. Truth be told though I HATE them with a passion
G.man

 

They grow absolutely fine in pots, so dig them up and pot them up before they take over.

 

I don't like them either! Mr Mac does so I confined him to plant them in a large pot at the base of his Twisted Hazel. (It actually looks quite good, like a miniature woodland scene, but don't tell him I said that )

 

I really like grape hyacinth but I would have to as I have many hundreds in the garden although I must confess this years show has not been as good as last years.Hel.xxx.

 

you have loads shiney lol..... so could i or should i say how do i take some of them out and plant else where in the garden? would they grow in a pot? thanks

 

Yep Grape Hyacinth or Muscari!

Love em or hate em - no middle ground here.

(I love em!)

A lovely shade of blue - and you can get more cultivated types which are very dark blue at the base of the flower spear and the upper half is a brighter brilliant blue.

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THESE!!!????
