I like my clump and look forward to the flowers every spring. I have a lot of other perennials planted in that area and they hide the disappearing bluebells later. Sad story: For 14 years I passed this house on my way to work. Out in front, by the road, was this enormous planting of bluebells all around a tree. The house was a '70s ranch and the bluebells were probably as old. It was so gorgeous and I looked forward to seeing the flowers every spring. Then the house was sold. One day they were there and the next time I looked the new owners had killed them all and planted grass seed!!! I guess they didn't like the looks of them when they died back. What a shame! Makes a gardener weep. |
