Description
ALLIUM BULBS - Allium Roseum commonly known as Rosy Garlic is a mid to fast growing late Spring to early Summer flowering perennial, which can grow to a height of 60cm. It produces pretty, open clusters of pink flowers loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies. These delicate blooms are flushed from a soft lilac pink to a deeper pink. HOW TO PLANT ALLIUM - Plant these allium bulbs during Autumn to Winter in fertile, well draining soil in full sun approximately 10 cm apart and at a depth, three to four times the size of the bulb. After planting, water well. Adding mulch, wood chips and organic matter to the planting area will increase soil drainage. Once in flower remove any withered leaves and at the end of the flowering season, cut the stems back. They are UK hardy and will continue to grow each year with little maintenance.PLANTING POSITION - These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds and garden borders or also in patio pots. Their soft tones make it a good plant for mixed planting schemes. This ornamental onion is best planted en masse to add pockets of colour to your garden between early Spring and mid Summer. Allium Roseum can also be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden.EASY TO STORE - If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.
