We bought our house in 2016. For the next two years I noticed a lovely patch of bright blue flowers along the hedge. Suddenly this spring , Ive got tiny blue flowers in everythingin the lawn, in the day lilieseverywhere. Ive identified them as Siberian squill and it turns out theyre an invasive species, one of many the previous homeowner planted. I wish people would google invasive species before they planted.

(27,286 posts)I don't mind them, at all. They bloom when the Daffodils and Grape Hyacinth open and I think they are lovely.
I'm going to be relocating a bunch of Grape Hyacinth, and some Squill to a pointed, sharp inclined area in my back lot, that's too steep and narrow to mow, with the rider mower. They can take over and spread as much as they want, back there. My hope is they become so dense, they will keep weeds from taking over.
