These bulbs were purchased as Alliums, but there was a name change since then. I think I started with a lot of these–maybe 25–a dozen years ago or so, and now I’m down to one! Inevitably, though, I will buy more. It is a gem in the garden, with fairly nondescript oniony leaves and then great stalks of fascinating flowers in May or June.
The flowers get about thirty inches tall, so they stand out in the garden. My 2020 plans for the remaining bulb is to feed it soon to strengthen it and to watch for new bulbs on sale in the fall that I can add to the gardens around the yard.
