alpenrose 17 Feb 9:57pm, 17 Feb 2024 62,524 posts	0 alpenrose I have a vigorous late flowering clem and often cut it back hard as late as April/early May.
EvilPixie 26 Feb 12:21pm, 26 Feb 2024 52,050 posts	0 EvilPixie I have loads of leaves where I previously had daffs (blind?) what's best - dig up and bin or will dig up and moving give me flowers next year?
Hanneke 26 Feb 12:26pm, 26 Feb 2024 120,594 posts	0 Hanneke Are the big clumps Pix? I find daffs often come up blind the second year, as they had to put a lot of "puff" into their first year. After that they clump up and do well. Overgrown clumps can stop flowering. Splitting up gives them the need to flower back.

Flatlander 26 Feb 12:40pm, 26 Feb 2024 3,131 posts	0 Flatlander Coincidently, just a few minutes before Pix posted her 1st comment, I'd blogged about my daffodils going blind and then reflowering (for lots of reasons I didn't mention).
EvilPixie 26 Feb 12:42pm, 26 Feb 2024 52,053 posts	0 EvilPixie I don't think they flowered last year either I am far from being a gardener so it would not surprise me if they were too close or something!
Columba 29 Feb 5:52pm, 29 Feb 2024 22,441 posts	0 Columba I had one that didn't flower for years (I did nothing about it, out of laziness) and then suddenly did.

Curly45 6 Mar 5:44pm, 6 Mar 2024 4,649 posts	0 Curly45 So I've managed to acquire a garraya elliptica but we got it from the bargain and it's very sad. It was on a couple of quid can it be rescued and how do we go about it?
