"It is a hardy stemmed plant however, I wish the flowers were bigger and only 1 bulb came up"
"Planted among iris. Tall and showy display with several purple alum"
"Tall, elegant and dramatic … a perfect white sphere adds spring flowers to a green backdrop. After the flowers are gone the sphere remains as a pale green that picks up sunlight and will standout against a shaded or dark green background. Otherwise, will appear more subtle against more busy gardens. Love it as a group of 5 or so. Looking forward to see how relevant they remains through autumn and winter …"
"Deer avoid this and bees, especially bumble bees go crazy for them. I planted about a dozen and they massively multiplied over a period of 4 yrs. Divide and transplant is easy but it will be a season or two before they bloom. I harvest the seeds and toss them. I accidentally dropped a bowl of harvested seeds in rocks and they came up the next season. Still waiting for bloom. Bulbs obviously bloom the summer after you fall plant and they stay blooming throughout the fall. Make sure to harvest the seeds. They are plentiful. Low/no maintenance. I live in dry zone in the mountains and they have done well surviving -25. Worth every penny."
"this is the third year they have been in the ground, both plants are bigger than ever, and they both dropped seeds in the fall, now I have probably a dozen new plants!"
"These were a gift in the fall to a daughter who lives in the northeast. They have not shown themselves just yet but when they do, they will be amazing. These are gorgeous in the garden and better still, to dry them for arrangements."
"Very showy and beautiful. I hope they multiply. Very easy to grow."
"These were beautiful just as expected! They look like huge dandelions"
This new tall white Allium is very useful in late spring making a big dramatic show just as all your other bulbs are dying down. The blooms are snow white.
About the Alliums. Every family has its beauties. And yes, these are the best-looking members of the family of Allium, which includes onions, leeks and chives. (The word, Allium, means 'onion' in Latin.) Many Allium species are native to Iran, where many tulips also originate, and the edible Alliums have been cultivated and a staple of diets for over 10,000 years.
The beauty of the small lavender flowerheads of chives have always been a decorative highlight in herb gardens. But in recent years, gardeners have become fascinated with the larger Alliums, particular the giants. As always, the Dutch hybridizers took them into their stocks, and now we have a whole group of beautiful new flowering onions for gardens. Most bloom in late spring so they bridge the gap nicely between the tulip season and early summer bloom of peonies and poppies.
Experienced gardeners plant these giant Alliums in groups of several bulbs, set very close together. The foliage is not attractive for long, so it's important to plant them next to other perennials whose foliage will more or less cover the Allium's base. This way, the wonderful flower stalks rise up and tower over the other flowers for a wonderful period of bloom.
