 Many varieties of alliums are available. They are the ornamental cousins of onions, garlic, and chives. They are late spring blooming and perform excellent with early blooming perennials, such as Painted Daisies, Sweet William, Asiatic Lilis, Hosta, Peonies, Oriental Poppies, and more. Many are suitable for dried flowers and all are great cutflowers. They are also virtually pest free. The best time to plant alliums is between September and November. They flower in May - June.
Some popular varieties are:
Allium aflatunense 'Purple Sensation' - The flowers are violet purple; hundreds of tiny flowers compressed to a gorgeous round ball on a 20-30 inch stem. Grow in USDA zones 3 - 8. Plant 8 inches deep, 5 inches apart.
Allium giganteum 'Globemaster' - This allium bears huge round blooms with silvery purple long lasting flowers. One of the best! Height 24" - 36". USDA zones 3 -8. Plant 8 inches deep, 12 inches apart.
