Ground Elder and Bluebells

| There are some bluebells that I want to dig up in our estate's compost heap but it looks like they are mixed in with some ground elder, which I don't want to introduce into my garden. Should I chance it and dig them up or leave it? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. |

| Wait until the bluebells are dormant (July-October), then dig, and clean the bulbs to remove all soil and other roots. Resin |

| Thanks so much, I will try that. Only problem is, how will I find them if they are dormant? |

| Mark the area where they are with sticks, so you know the area to dig. Bluebell bulbs are whitish, so easy to find in the spadefuls of soil. Resin |
