Allium provide excellent winter interest. Leave their foliage and seed-heads in place throughout winter and then cut the clumps to just above ground before new shoots appear early spring. Divide Allium in spring to transplant to another area if desired.
Care:
Very easy to grow. Keep well-watered the first year to establish a strong root system. Apply an all-pupose fertilizer in spring (after pruning or planting) when new growth appears.
If growing in pots, more watering will be required. In the heat of summer, daily deep watering is recommended. In winter, water once a month to keep the plants from dehydrating due to frost.
