These are called Alliums. These are spring to early summer blooming flowers which is easy to grown when there's good drainage soil and full sun for them in your garden.
This is the first year I had these flowers in my garden. I didn't read the planting instructions so I think I might have planted them too closely together.
Below are pictures of the bloom of these flowers.
They are pricey bulbs but they are just so pretty. I just love them. So far they seem to be pretty long lasting because other flowers in my garden which bloomed at the same time seem to have wilted already.
My sister also planted scallions and onions in her yard. They look similar...maybe because they are in the same onion family? But I believe the steams looks different and also the colors of the flower might be white. I got to try it since I've always have unused onions or scallions that goes bad which I can just throw into my garden.
Anyone planted Alliums? What are some things I should look for in caring for them? And has anyone tried planting scallions and onions? Let me know!
