Allium Bulbs
 

Hi,
My allium bulbs, which I planted last autumn, have produced a fine display this spring and have now finished flowering. The question now is what's the best way of keeping the bulbs for next year?" Do I remove all the seedheads to promote bulb growth and should the bulbs be lifted and stored dry until the autumn?
Any thoughts gratefully received!

If they are like some of my Alliums (variety uncertain), you will be well advised to remove the seed heads, or in a few
years self-seeded alliums will try to take over the garden. Mine are quite hardy (Lancashire) and re-appear annually
without attention - other than remove dozens of surplus new plants.
