Allium question

Walter Reeves on Mar 25, 2012They are indeed related to onions....and they should be up by now. I'd gently dig the spot to see if they are still present. Squirrels don't seem to eat mine.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Mar 26, 2012What type did you plant, Marvin? Most are spring bloomers and should be showing foliage by now, but some, like drumstick allium (Allium sphaerocephalon) do not bloom until mid-summer, so you may not be seeing those. Also, bulbs tend to be a little tardy their first year in the ground. I've not found that most allium naturalize particularly well, but drumstick allium is said to.Helpful Reply

Cultivators Design and Landscape on Mar 26, 2012Hey Marvin, My alliums are putting up foliage as well probably 3-4". I have tons of squirrels but they don't seem to bother my alliums but they love my tulips! I planted my alliums about 5-6" deep as well. I agree with Walter about digging down to seem if they are still there.Helpful Reply
