Not at all weedy, but do naturalize nicely. Be happy...the British LOSE THEIR MINDS over them...for realz.

I transplanted about six, patted myself on the back, then ran them over trying to harvest bamboo for pea trellises. *Sigh.*Heatherhttp://www.justagirlwithahammer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814656844817347020.post-18566357794067280552012-03-04T09:28:27.038-08:002012-03-04T09:28:27.038-08:00I think Laurrie's right, they're not a wee...I think Laurrie's right, they're not a weed! One thing that is neat about these is that you can have them interspersed in your lawn - they only bloom (here at least) at the very beginning of the season (theoretically prior to the first mow), and you don't hurt them by mowing the lawn with them in it. You can also transplant them. I've had luck with them multiplying in some areas, not so much in other areas - probably due to soil pH?Annehttp://twitter.com/anneheathennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814656844817347020.post-56131861989759775782012-03-03T17:59:48.110-08:002012-03-03T17:59:48.110-08:00I'm told they multiply, but I've been wait...I'm told they multiply, but I've been waiting for years.Ricki Gradyhttp://www.facebook.com/people/Ricki-Grady/100000918721293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814656844817347020.post-3796075647713617702012-03-03T14:23:55.627-08:002012-03-03T14:23:55.627-08:00No, not a weed, a wonderful surprise.

I planted galanthus nivalis and thought I was creating a big swath with 50 little bulbs, but now see I needed 500 for the effect I wanted. Maybe 1,000.Laurriehttp://laurries.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
