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 in late spring.
Yes. Because alliums are part of the onion family, they possess a scent and taste that most deer and squirrels find unappealing, making them a reliable choice for gardens prone to animal browsing.
Alliums thrive in well-drained, loamy soil and perform best in full sun to partial sun. Proper drainage is essential to prevent the bulbs from rotting during the winter months.
For the best results, plant the bulbs approximately 8 inches deep. This depth provides the necessary insulation and stability for the tall, globe-shaped stalks to emerge.
Absolutely. Their unique, globe-shaped blooms and sturdy stems make them excellent candidates for cut flower arrangements, adding a dramatic architectural element to indoor displays.
Yes, these are perennials. If planted in the correct growing zones (4-9) and provided with well-drained soil, they will return and bloom reliably each year.
