Allium confusion
It is fast becoming apparent that last autumn's Gardeners' World
special offer alliums must have got their packet labeling wrong. Where I had expected to see diminutive a. ostrowskianum, they are already over 600 mm high. However, what should have been that size - a. sphaerocephalon - are tiny plants. I'll have to leave them now, and try to move them after flowering.

If thick they may be one of the large flowered varieties in which case you have done well as they are always expensive. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

Right now they are looking very much like some sphaerocephalon that I planted the previous year. I don't think that they are anything like gigantium, of which I also have a couple.
