Soil Preparation
Great gardens start with great soil. Soil preparation is essential for successful gardening Flower bulbs prefer loose, well drained soil rich in organic material. Start by removing weeds, rocks and debris from the planting area. Loosen the soil to a depth of approximately 12 inches and mix in organic matter such as peat moss, compost, manure, or a combination. This is especially important if you are planting in an area with heavy clay or ground that tends to hold moisture. Properly preparing the soil before planting will keep the bulbs from rotting and helps the roots to access oxygen and nutrients in the soil. This is a crucial step to ensure happy, healthy and beautiful plants.
NOTE
It is important to store bulbs correctly until they are planted. Unpack the
bulbs and store them in a cool, dry place with plenty of air circulation,
where the temperature is between 40-70℉.
Bulb Planting Instructions
- Plant allium bulbs in the fall when the ground cools and before the first hard frost.
- Outside temperature should be about 65℉ or cooler.
- Select a well drained location that receives full sun to partial shade.
- Dig a hole 4-5 deep in loosened soil and place bulbs in the hole. Bulbs should be spaced about 3-4 apart. Plant them in the ground with their pointy ends up.
- Cover with soil and water well so the soil above the bulb settles.
Ongoing Allium Care
Caring for your Alliums after they bloom is rather simple. Once the plants are finished blooming and fade to brown or yellow, cut them down to ground level. In the fall, cover the soil with a couple inches of mulch and remove the mulch in spring to allow for new growth. If desired, you can also divide your alliums. It is recommended to do so every three to four years. To do this, take a trowel and carefully dig around the bed of the plant. You should find a collection of bulbs. Dig them up and gently separate with your hands. You can replant some of them in the same spot and others in new locations right away.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A. Allium bulbs need to be planted in fall or early winter. Basic rule of
planting would be when the soil is 60℉ or cooler.
Q. What other flowers can you plant with alliums?
A. Peonies, bearded iris, and oriental poppies are late-spring blooming bulbs

Q. Are ornamental onions and alliums the same thing?

they are grown for flowers and not food.
