Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall. This allows them to establish their root systems before the ground freezes, ensuring they are ready to bloom the following spring.
Yes, 'Jeannine' is known for its vigorous growth habit. Over time, the bulbs will multiply to form dense, groundcover-like clumps, making them an excellent choice for naturalizing in rock gardens.
Allium moly is highly resistant to deer and rabbits. The bulbs and foliage contain compounds that these animals generally find unappealing, making them a reliable choice for gardens prone to wildlife browsing.
Absolutely. Because they only reach about 12 inches in height and have a compact spacing requirement of 3 inches, they are perfect for containers, window boxes, or tucked into small gaps in a rock garden.
While they perform best in full sun, they are quite adaptable and will also thrive in partial shade. If you live in a region with very hot summers, a spot with afternoon shade can actually help the blooms last a bit longer.
It is best to leave the blue-green foliage intact until it turns yellow and begins to wither naturally. This allows the plant to store energy in the bulb for next year's growth.
