Choosing the Right Allium Variety for Large Blooms
For stunning spring displays, consider growing allium varieties like 'Globemaster'. These plants thrive in well-draining soil and full sun, making them ideal for fall planting.
Alliums help bridge the gap between the blooming of daffodils and tulips in the spring and the emergence of summer annuals and perennials. Giant alliums, such as Allium giganteum, Allium christophii, and Allium stipitatum cultivars, are popular for their large, showy flowers.
These stately and erect plants are part of the same family as onions, garlic, and chives. While they may have a familiar smell, alliums are not grown for culinary purposes, but rather as ornamental onions for their decorative value.
