Bluebells

[Oleanda]

I have a lot of bluebells in my garden, I didn't plant them, they just appeared. Now that they are fading, should I leave the flowers alone or cut them down?

Don't cut off the leaves - they provide food which will be stored in the bulbs for next year's starting growth.

[Oleanda]

I know not to cut the leaves, it was the flowers I asked about.

Remove the flower spikes or they will go to seed, which means you will get many more next year.

I'm getting overrun with bluebells and regularly dig them up and dispose of them.
