When to Plant Allium Bulbs
Ready to get planting? Mark your calendars for fall—this is when you’ll want to plant those allium bulbs for a fabulous late spring and early summer bloom. Think of it as prepping for a grand garden gala!
Where to Plant Allium Bulbs
Planting allium bulbs is a piece of cake! These beauties love full sun but can also handle a bit of partial shade. With a sunny spot and good drainage, they’ll be back year after year, just like your favorite TV show. Plus, their slim, vertical shape means they don’t take up much ground space while adding a dramatic flair to your lush planting scheme. They’re the tall, stylish friends who know how to stand out!
How to Plant Allium Bulbs
For optimal results, give those bulbs a little love with some bulb food before planting to help them settle in nicely. When it’s time to plant, dig those holes about twice the height of the bulb—5 or 6 inches apart. And remember, pointy end up! It’s like giving them a pep talk before their big show. After planting, give them a nice drink of water to keep them happy. These allium bulbs are versatile and hardy, so they’ll thrive in most climates and can even be planted indoors for some extra flair!
How to Care for Alliums
Got a congested clump of alliums? No problem! You can lift and divide them, preferably right after they finish blooming—just think of it as giving them a little room to breathe. And if you want to prevent a wild allium takeover, deadhead the flowers before they scatter their seeds everywhere. It’s all about keeping things in check while letting your garden shine!
