Allium Bulbs
I haven't yet planted my allium bulbs. They are the big purple balls
(Purple Sensation) and also Globemaster and Giganteum. Is it too late to plant them? Thanks |

Allium Bulbs
The message
from "Janice" contains these words: I haven't yet planted my allium bulbs. They are the big purple balls (Purple Sensation) and also Globemaster and Giganteum. Is it too late to plant them? What is Plan B? If you save them until next autumn they will probably be shrivelled dry, or rotted. Or (even more annoying) lost and forgotten. If your garden is very soggy atm, why not plant them in pots of gritty soil,(outdoors) so that the roots can get a start with less risk of rotting. By spring the roots should hold the soil well enough that you can slip off the pots and plant the contents. I've planted Purple Sensation too this year (in garden)...looking forward to seeing them.

Probably not; as long as they have 6 weeks or more before the ground freezes so they can make root growth, bulbs should be O.K.
