Hi there gardening MyCouponers!
Our gardening question this week, was submitted by Martha L. from Mass.
Hello Annie,
I've just started planning my garden for next year. Someone mentioned growing Alliums in my flower garden that gets alot of sun. Do you know anything about Alliums and is it an easy to grow plant?
Thanks for any help
Martha L.
Hi there Martha!
Oh yes, I love alliums. Alliums is one perennial that is a must have in the flower garden to ensure continuing color and beauty after the spring-flowering bulbs have faded. They provide great color during those late spring months. Flowering from May to July.
Alliums come in all shapes and colors and are so very easy to grow. They are great if you do fresh cut flower arrangements with flowers from your garden.
Alliums will grow well in any sunny location with well-drained soil. Plant them in September or October about 8 to 10 inches deep and make sure you plant multiples for a great effect.
I have white, purple and blue Alliums planted in one of my flower gardens with summer bloomers such as bachelor's buttons, coreopsis, sweet William, foxglove, baby's breath and red hot poker.
You can find Alliums either in your local garden center or online at such places as DutchGardens.com , HenryFields.com , Gurneys.com or MichiganBulb.com
Good luck and thanks for the great question!
Keep on gardening!
