Alium Seeds
takes an age for the seed to develop into bulbs large enough to flower 2-4

Alium Seeds
The message
from "Janice" contains these words: My ornamental alliums (giganteum, aflatunense Purple Sensation) have now produced seeds. If I collect and sow these seeds, will they produce flowers next year or will it be several years before they flower? It will be several years before they build up to flowering size. I think about four is likely to be the minmum, certainly so if they get the kind of semi-neglect my pot-grown plants get. Janet G |

Being they are hardy, couldn't one simply plant a row of seed (like spring onions) and forget about them for a few years (except for weeding) ? It's what I intend to do. -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |
