Hi, I have this spring flowering plant which I transported from our old house last year and it's doing quite well, but I don't know what it is, can anyone enlighten me?
Thank you, pleased about that, it was given to me by my dad who is sadly no longer with us and as my son was asking what it was called I thought I'd better find out!
Can I hijack this thread, as your question seems to have been answered OP, to ask if anyone knows what these are? I found this pot tucked away at the end of the garden - I must have planted bulbs in it at some point, but can’t remember them / no label. Thanks
The stuff Spottysocks is asking about is Snow in Summer (Cerastium Tormentosum)
It’s brilliant at holding back a steep bank as it doesn’t mind being dry, has a very strong root system and spreads. It doesn’t like our new garden though which doesn’t have the sandy, clay soil we had at the old place.
Sorry Lisagran. DH doesn’t know the name of those bulbs either!
How odd spottysox - my dad gave me a cutting of snow in summer too, many years ago. It thrived in our garden and I loved it. When we moved to a flat with no garden I obviously left it behind. Now we have moved again and have a garden I have been thinking I must get some. It will always remind me of my father.
Snow in Summer is one of those 'bent on world domination' plants, I find, but absolutely amenable to being severely dealt with by yanking out its unwanted growth...
I will hijack here too as I have one which no-one can identify! I am quite well organised and keep all my labels etc but this one seems to have slipped the net!
