Let’s celebrate this moment with these glorious allium blooms a little more before they fade.
🌱the allium genus of plants are native to regions all over the world.
🌱are part of the onion family that includes chives, leeks and garlic.
🌱because of their strong scent and flavour, few animals will nibble on them more than once.
🌱by interplanting alliums around plants more likely to be eaten by animals, you may reduce the likelihood that those plants get devoured.
🌱large flowering alliums like these have been cultivated from alliums that originated in Central Asia to have even larger and larger flowers and are given trademarked names like ‘Purple Sensation’.
🌱bulbs like this are planted in the fall for blooms the following spring.
