Hi Ashley I have just subscribed to pbs with the hope of gaining some knowledge re flowering alliums. The ones I have that have germinated are Christophii. I have lots in seed raising mix in a medium sized pot. But totally not sure where to go from here. A lovely lady has told me to leave them growing in this pot and just let them run their course and die down. That is probably what I will do. Have you grown them from seed?

Keep the seed pots watered until the foliage starts to wither, then keep them in a cool place while they're dormant. If the pots are crowded, you can move them on after the first year, though I usually leave them in 2 years. The little bulbs are easy to identify, as they're almost always light-colored. Pot them on until they're big enough not to get lost in the garden, usually after the second year. Most species do best in well-drained soil, such as on a rock garden, and most are native to sunny places. A few can become pests in the garden by self-sowing or increasing with bulbs on stolons; an example is A. triquetrum. > > Jane McGary, Portland, Oregon, USA > >> On 9/2/2021 2:18 PM, Maggie Mowbray via pbs wrote: >> Hi there I live in South Island if New Zealand. >> I have managed to germinate some allium seeds does anyone have any tried and true information about growing Alliums from seed please? >> Thanks >> Maggie >> > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… > Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
