Blue bells
I've got blue bells in my garden and they rarely are a problem, in fact I'd like some to actually spread a bit. They disappear fairly soon after flowering, I find.

How do you feel if this happens?
I blame TV gardening shows, they have no relation to real gardening and growing. Instant effect, not keen on garden designers personally.
