COMMENTS:
The unusual flowerheads are approximately 1-1/2
inches wide. They will tolerate a poor garden soil,
and once established will naturalize easily. Make
excellent cut flowers. Well drained soil is
essential. Note that the leaves of all allium turn
yellow when blooming begins, and can be removed if
unsightly. Allium should be planted in the fall as
they require a period of cold dormancy to grow well
and bloom. Plant anytime in the fall before the
ground freezes.
