Allium Planting Guide How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Allium Flowers
video description
So that-s a relief but I do have to move them to the background more so I can get something else in front of them as it is unsightly (they-re in a clump bordering my driveway right near the front entrance so highly visible to anyone coming to the door. But man, those globes when they bloom. can-t beat them.

I saw Alliums for the first time this summer at a neighbors yard. I was mesmerized by the color and the amount of bees it attracts. I was bummed how expensive they are However, my local Costco brought purple sensation by Longfield to my surprised! It was an amazing deal, so just waiting for the 1st frost here in zone 5a (it's October 16th and we are strangely quite late for it)
Can't wait to have my own beautiful garden like yours! You are an amazing inspiration -

WARNING: When she says -self seeding- believe it. I bought three globe Allium about 15 years ago. Very attractive flowers. I have spent the last 12 years trying to get rid of them. Every year I pull them out, bulb and all, after they finish flowering only to have 30-50 more come up the following year. Hopefully, I finally got them all this year.

I never really knew what to do to make a garden look nice bc my parents don't take a lot of care of the garden, but this fall I'm planting a border with a mix of alliums and perennials to surprise them when they come back from holiday. Thank you so much for all this advice, I hope they will look lovely next summer!

I tried ping pong alliums this summer in 8a South Georgia. So disappointed not sure what I did wrong but only 1 bloomed normally. The others were still trying to flower but the tops were dried out and shriveled up. I finally cut them because I was tired of the way they were making the rest of the garden look

I never used to appreciate alliums but now that gardening is my obsession (and I struggle with strong deer pressure) I cannot get enough! I have a bunch of varieties and keep adding more every year. The drumstick type totally stole my heart this year and you-re right-pollinators loved them as much as I did!

Great video. Gardening since a youngster. Never planted allium. Knew about them and seen them in other gardens. Just downsized to a condo and picked up some daffodils and some purple sensation allium. Getting ready to plant just to perk up back area next year. Thank you for your clarity on the subject.

I have a lot of trees in my backyard and hoping to repel mosquitoes. I-m a beginner to gardening. I-m in the DFW, so I need to find out what zone I-m in but can these grow in mostly shade? In the area I would like to plant these, I get some morning sun for a couple of hours but that-s it.

I planted them for the very first time. My centre border has a flag pole so I got a little creative putting 3 Globemasters around the pole then a ring of a little shorter pink variety then a ring of a smaller purple. I hope it turns out the way I envision it. So excited for Spring -

Could you tell me what mic you use for your videos? It sounds great! I was also wondering if you've ever talked about how you connected with potential buyers for a family-scale cut flower farmer and make some $ from that? I'd love to learn about that too! Many thanks!

Hi there! you just made my day even better! I live in KY and there is a street center divider with tons of Alliums and I admired and wonder what they were? until now! I know what they are and I'm definitely adding them to my garden! ;) thank you so very much!

I am in Zone 10b. I have gladiolus bulbs to plant. You mentioned to plant allium in middle because of dry leaves. What do you recommend to plant in front. I have a 20ft semi circle shape of landscape that I am redoing in front up against house.

I-m not much of a flower Gardner, I tend to just stick to vegetables. However I have a huge rock garden that has become overtaken by weeds over the years. I-m going to try to plant somePurple sensation among some other bulbs.

Great video and very informative. If your allium does self seed, what will the seedlings look like? I'm afraid I would think it was a weed and pull it! Also, would the seedling take a few years before it bloomed? Thanks!

I have not been successful at growing alliums, but I'll keep trying. I saw them blooming naturally in Venezuela. If they grow wild there, surely I can get them to grow here in the high desert. Zone 7

I love Alliums. I have Purple sensation, Gladiator and drumsticks Alliums and all are almost blooming. Though I'm gonna plant the white Alliums in Fall for next year.
