I never used to appreciate alliums but now that gardening is my obsession (and I struggle with strong deer pressure) I cannot get enough! I have a bunch of varieties and keep adding more every year. The drumstick type totally stole my heart this year and you’re right-pollinators loved them as much as I did!

which varies are your favorite? I’ve just grown a gladiator on my balcony and it’s the coolest flower. my gf calls it a whoville flower. didn’t know they came in other types. actually just finding out it’s perennial. 🤩

@@geomanko4142 yes there are many kinds out there. I love the drumstick type, christophii, Everest, schubertii, karataviense, and a type that has little bells, called honey garlic. I planted a blue type and tall reddish one last fall and look forward to seeing them too. They’re all great! And they dry well in the garden so they’re always interesting.

@@emkn1479Do you use the seeds in the flower to get more plants? I’m new to alliums and it sounds like I’m a couple years behind your experience. The bulbs are expensive, so I’d like to learn how to grow more plants from seed. Have you?

@@ttb1513 I buy bulbs when they go on sale, at the end of the season. I’m sure I have some seedlings out there, as I don’t mind if they selfsow, but I haven’t done it on purpose. I think I heard that it takes 3 or 4 years to flower when grown from seed. You could buy just a few bulbs to enjoy the blooms from year to year and then use their seeds to propagate more 🤷‍♀️

I just received my first two bulbs of giganteum allium and I’m excited after watching your video. I’ll plant them tomorrow to celebrate some good news from my doctor. Thank you

I never really knew what to do to make a garden look nice bc my parents don't take a lot of care of the garden, but this fall I'm planting a border with a mix of alliums and perennials to surprise them when they come back from holiday. Thank you so much for all this advice, I hope they will look lovely next summer!

I planted them for the very first time. My centre border has a flag pole so I got a little creative putting 3 Globemasters around the pole then a ring of a little shorter pink variety then a ring of a smaller purple. I hope it turns out the way I envision it. So excited for Spring 😍

How did it go? That sounds lovely.

Planted alliums this year for the very first time. I only planted 6 bulbs but I sure will be planting more next fall. I cant wait to see my gladiators bloom! I absolutely love your videos. Thanks for sharing the knowledge! Hugs from zone 6B in Massachusetts ☺

Thank you for the hint about where to plant alliums . I wondered why my leaves were turning yellow before the bloom came out!

I’ve been watching Sarah Raven videos and have been so inspired by her alliums. Can’t wait to see yours.

Great job on the alliums!

I’m re-watching a lot of your videos and learning more each time! I love alliums too and have a couple of different varieties in my garden 💜

Very informative, thank you❣️

That's going to add such nice dimension to your garden! Or should I say - EVEN MORE dimension!!! Can't wait to see them! ♡

I saw Alliums for the first time this summer at a neighbors yard. I was mesmerized by the color and the amount of bees it attracts. I was bummed how expensive they are However, my local Costco brought purple sensation by Longfield to my surprised! It was an amazing deal, so just waiting for the 1st frost here in zone 5a (it's October 16th and we are strangely quite late for it) Can't wait to have my own beautiful garden like yours! You are an amazing inspiration 🤗

Danielle, I love these informational videos that provide such value. Lovely video and can't wait to see you planting them:)

So thankful for the invitation!.🙏🏻

These are going to be stunning! Great info on growing them!

Thanks for sharing 😊

Great information as usual. Love alliums! 🌸

Yay for me I was binge watching your videos and came across this one!! A few weeks ago we planted about 50 alliums around our new property!! Thanks. Oh and we are surrounded by deer so we are excited!

Such a helpful video! I'm definitely saving this to reference later. Thanks for all the great tips!

I have Globe Masters and LOVE them - I don’t do anything to them and they’ve been super reliable - but I didn’t realize it’s normal for the foliage to yellow and die off before they even bloom. I thought I wasn’t caring for them properly! So that’s a relief but I do have to move them to the background more so I can get something else in front of them as it is unsightly (they’re in a clump bordering my driveway right near the front entrance so highly visible to anyone coming to the door). But man, those globes when they bloom... can’t beat them.

Hi there! you just made my day even better!! I live in KY and there is a street center divider with tons of Alliums and I admired and wonder what they were?? until now! I know what they are and I'm definitely adding them to my garden! ;) thank you so very much!

Hi ! Is it possible to show the complete names of the Allium in the Ppt pic at 2:59 as it is cut at the bottom for complete names, thanks and really enjoyed and implemented your style…

I planted gladiators this year. So excited to see them. I have a yellow one that was in my garden already. Looking forward to seeing yours and mine this Spring 😊

Thank you! Need some in between color options I have a small area with just Dwarf Nikko Deutzia & Bobo Hydrangeas ,just discovered that means no flowers Late May - Mid July - this should help!

Great video. Gardening since a youngster. Never planted allium. Knew about them and seen them in other gardens. Just downsized to a condo and picked up some daffodils and some purple sensation allium. Getting ready to plant just to perk up back area next year. Thank you for your clarity on the subject.

Great video. I found your channel last night and it looks like you have great content on your channel! Subscribed and I plan to go back and binge watch your videos and share them with my daughter. All the best to you.

Two years ago I purchased 5 pots of planted alliums on sale in Sept. They are now one of my favorite flowers. My honey bees just love them. I am wanting to make an allium, Russian sage, lavender and fern garden and wonder how they will do in sand.....I will have to embellish the bed but I live on a sand ridge and the sand is very deep. Also do I need to split the clump after a time? What fertilizer do you use on them? I can't believe I did not know about these until 2 years ago. Fabulous flower. Mine are in bloom right now.

My alliums are coming up! Thank you for the info. It was very helpful last year.

Thank you for your knowledge. I can’t wait to plant some in the fall

WARNING: When she says "self seeding" believe it. I bought three globe Allium about 15 years ago. Very attractive flowers. I have spent the last 12 years trying to get rid of them. Every year I pull them out, bulb and all, after they finish flowering only to have 30-50 more come up the following year. Hopefully, I finally got them all this year.

Great video and very informative. If your allium does self seed, what will the seedlings look like? I'm afraid I would think it was a weed and pull it! Also, would the seedling take a few years before it bloomed? Thanks!

I’m not much of a flower Gardner, I tend to just stick to vegetables. However I have a huge rock garden that has become overtaken by weeds over the years. I’m going to try to plant somePurple sensation among some other bulbs.

Thank you for such an informative video on alliums. I may still try and plant some this season. Have you ever planted them in containers?? Zone 5🍁

Good info! Thank you for making the video

You re amazing thank you!

Very informative vid . Thank You

I just bought deep crimson red aliums...

Do these need to be cold treated like tulips? I’m in zone 9

great thank you , what should i plant so i dont see the yellow leaves of alliums in my boarders thanks

Super sister ❤️❤️

Could you tell me what mic you use for your videos? It sounds great! I was also wondering if you've ever talked about how you connected with potential buyers for a family-scale cut flower farmer and make some $ from that? I'd love to learn about that too! Many thanks!

Hi there! I use a tascam lav mic. In the area I live in many farmers have stands. I sold to florists in years past but now I sell solely at our farm stand.

I've seen that some allium gardeners will actually spray paint the spent bloom so they can have some color all season long. Have you heard of that? I planted my 1st alliums and am looking forward to some Purple Sensation next spring!

So I do not have to dig them up after they bloom ? Now I'm excited and what to plant them . Also what are the name of the ones in your Christmas tree ? Thank You 🌲

Has anyone grow alliums in Florida zone 9? I love they way they look and would love to plant them.

I love your garden but where Where did you buy your arches I love them

I have a lot of trees in my backyard and hoping to repel mosquitoes. I’m a beginner to gardening...I’m in the DFW, so I need to find out what zone I’m in but can these grow in mostly shade? In the area I would like to plant these, I get some morning sun for a couple of hours but that’s it.

Great info. Where can I buy the purple sensation? And gladiator?

Hi, when they are done with flowering, and the foliage die down and brown naturally, shall I just rip off the old foliage? However, great video

Good info, thxs.

Can you plant them in shade

Thanks!

sweet dear, I liked u on a snap, I noticed u showed planting into the natural soil. Then why the grow plant soil? I'm using the bag soil for growing for any seed on the soil. anything wrong? Thx!!

Hi. I love your sharing! I tried to screenshot your chart of alliums but the bottom names were cut off & I wondered if you would mind sending me the chart or where I could get it? Thank you so much

POV: you play minecraft and like flowers and plants a lot

I tried ping pong alliums this summer in 8a South Georgia. So disappointed not sure what I did wrong but only 1 bloomed normally. The others were still trying to flower but the tops were dried out and shriveled up. I finally cut them because I was tired of the way they were making the rest of the garden look

can i plan allium with seed in spring?

If I lived n the south, 8a do I need to chill them like a tulip?

Hello! Aren't the "bulbs" just onions or like, garlics?

I totally missed the boat and didn’t plant mine in the fall. Should I wait again til this fall or plant now? I’m on New Hampshire 5B. Thank you.

You are in the north what about zones 7-8

Where do you get your alliums from? Thanks.

I am in Zone 10b. I have gladiolus bulbs to plant. You mentioned to plant allium in middle because of dry leaves. What do you recommend to plant in front. I have a 20ft semi circle shape of landscape that I am redoing in front up against house.

Have you ever planted them from seed? I’ve collected some of the seeds but I’ve been told it’s pointless to plant them from seeds 🤔

how many months it will take to bloom from seeds 😊

What website you buy your Alliums from

Have you planted alliums from seed? If so, what is the procedure? I have some globemaster seeds. If I’m trying to grow them this spring, what do I need to do?

Is this star of persia?

Hey can I plant them now it’s nov we haven’t had deep freeze yet can you let no thanks I live in 7b Judy

Doesn't the weight of flowers make them flop? Do they have to be staked?

Where did you get your allium I can’t find the proper kind
