Caring for your Allium

Ornamental alliums are hardy and can be grown in most soil types, providing it is well drained. Plant them in a sunny spot for the best results. Alliums are drought tolerant meaning they prefer to be grown on the dry side. Allium bulbs don’t need to be lifted during the winter.
