Odd question. We currently have lots of long grass (lawn grass gone to seed) in our shared garden. Lots of bluebells grow in the same patch. If I pulled up the grass by hand, saving the bluebell bulbs and sowed wildflower seeds around them, is there any reason they wouldn’t be compatible?
Basically the other owners are very precious about the bluebells, but I’m keen to get a bit more diversity in there than just grass and bluebells. They’re very insistent on having it remain “wild” aka, bluebells for a few weeks followed by months of long grass. It’d just be good to have some reassurance that I’m not going to crowd them out with perennial wildflowers.
I'm 90% sure that the likelihood is that the bluebells will suppress any other growth, rather than the other way round, but good to check with those wiser than myself!
