Van Zyverden’s ALLIUM SPHAEROCEPHALON Allium are in the same family as garlic, onions, chives and shallots. This makes gardeners wonder if they should include them in their ornamental gardening plans, as it conjures up images of supermarket produce. But because good garden designs are often made up of different shapes, allium’s rounded blooms make for high drama and interest in the garden. The Allium group gets more popular annually, from over 300 species to choose. They amaze everyone, and few plants create this kind of wow in the garden. We will be adding many new varieties shortly. Each flower head displays an Commonly called rounded Deer and rodent resistant interesting bi-color effect as the florets headed leak or drumstick allium change from green to purple About This Variety: Allium sphaerocephalon is a bulbous perennial that is ornamentally grown for its early summer bloom of rose-purple to pink flower heads. This plant is native throughout Europe to the Caucusus, Iran and northern Africa. Cylindrical, hollow, grassy, gray-green leaves to 14” long form a foliage clump in spring. In late spring, sturdy slender flowering stems rise topped with egg-shaped flower heads. Each flower head is a tight, dense, clover-like cluster of tiny florets that emerge deep green but mature to rose-purple. Flower heads resemble the flower heads of some clovers. Flowers lack fragrance. Growing Instructions: As Alliums do not like wet feet, find a sunny location where the soil drains well or try to improve the drainage. The bulbs will rot in wet areas. Aside from that, almost no maintenance is required. Care Tip: Dig, divide, and replant bulbs after a few years of decreasing flower production. Exposure: Full sun to partial shade Height: Grows 20-24” tall Spacing: Plant 4-6” apart, 3-5” deep USDA Zones: Hardy in USDA zones 4-8 ® Guaranteed to grow 1 year from purchase Let’s get social! if directions are followed.

Grow Bloomin' Onions
Grow Bloomin’ Onions By Ray Novitske, Fairfax Master Gardener Mention spring blooms, and most of us think of early crocus, daffodils and tulips. But there are other spring bulbs that are often overlooked because they bloom later in the season. Alliums, also called Flowering Onions, can take your spring flowering season from the end of the tulips into the early summer. Most bloom in late spring through June. University of Arkansas Research & Research Arkansas of University Alliums are members of the Amarylidaceae family, which includes amaryllis, leeks, scallions, leeks, Extension photo: photo: chives and of course, onions. There are about 600 Allium gigantium different species of alliums, and most of them are native to North America, with the remaining hundred or so occurring in China. A handful are also found in Europe, Africa and Asia. Alliums are fall-planted bulbs that produce a cluster of flowers on a sturdy stem, varying in height from a few inches to a few feet. They need full sun and average, well-drained soil, and have few problems. Deer and rodents leave them alone because of their onion taste. After blooming, the foliage eventually dies back like tulips and daffodils, leaving the dormant bulb underground until ready to produce a new bloom the following year. Alliums need a warm period after blooming to replenish the food in the bulb for the next year, in addition to a cold period during winter. They also do not survive well in poorly-drained soil — not needing frequent watering. Some consider them to be drought-tolerant. One of the best known alliums is the giant Allium giganteum, a University State Carolina North native of central Asia.

But there are many ornamental alliums that deserve a hearty welcome in your perennial gardens. Alliums are plants of exquisite beauty in both flower and leaf, with tough constitutions. These easy-to-grow bulbs come in a broad palette of colors, heights, bloom times and flower forms. They make excellent cut flowers for fresh or dried bouquets. Even crowded gardens can accommodate a few alliums because they don't take up much space. What's more, alliums are relatively resistant to deer, voles, chipmunks, and rabbits Ordinary Onions They're Not There are more than 700 different types of alliums in the world. It wasn't until the late 1800s that this vast group of plants started to intrigue plant lovers. Russian botanists began collecting some of the spectacular alliums from Central Asia and introducing them to avid horticulturists through the Imperial Botanical Garden in St. Petersburg. Of course, it didn't take long for the In this border, the Purple Sensation allium consummate plant hunters, the British, to bridges the gap between spring and early get wind of this "new" family of garden- summer-flowering perennials. worthy plants.
