Sowing
Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.
Description
A striking ornamental allium with unusual egg-shaped flower heads in rich burgundy-purple shades.
The characteristic tuft of elongated florets at the top gives the plant an original, exotic look.
The tall flower stems are suitable for flower beds, group plantings and cut flowers.
How to grow
Choose a spot: Plant the bulbs in a sunny spot or light partial shade, sheltered from strong wind.
Prepare the soil: It should be fertile, loose and well-drained. Avoid places where water collects.
Plant the bulbs: In autumn, at a depth of about 12–15 cm, pointed end up.
Leave a gap: About 15–20 cm between individual bulbs.
Water moderately: Water after planting, and during the growing period keep the soil lightly moist without letting it become waterlogged.
Care after flowering: Remove spent flower stems or leave them for decorative effect. Remove the leaves only after they have yellowed and died back naturally.
