White Flower Farm Allium

These bulbs should be planted in the fall while they are dormant. This allows them to establish a strong root system before the ground freezes, ensuring a robust bloom the following spring.

Allium foliage often starts to yellow as the blooms reach their peak. We recommend tucking the bulbs behind mid-to-late summer perennials, like hostas or daylilies, which will grow to mask the fading leaves.

Yes, Alliums contain compounds that make them unpalatable to deer, mice, and chipmunks. They are an excellent choice for gardens where these animals are a recurring nuisance.

These bulbs thrive in fertile, well-drained soil. If your garden has heavy clay, amend the planting area with organic matter or grit to improve drainage and prevent the bulbs from rotting.

The varieties in this trio are known for their tall, dramatic stems. Depending on the specific variety, you can expect these flower heads to rise significantly above your other border plants, typically reaching heights of 3 to 4 feet.
