Gorgeous Allium. Do you have its name?

They're so cute lined up by the fence.

Sorry for the late reply -wrote this response 3x but Houzz kept deleting.

They are Purple Sensation and quite affordable. I got a bag of 20 bulbs at Home Depot for 1/2off and about $8. :)

My Purple Sensation were beautiful this year. I planted last fall, too. I planted in a group about 4 ft. long, 18" across. It's along a sidewalk and can be seen from the street. I just cut most of the heads off so the bulbs can do well. It's such a struggle to decide to cut off or save all the seed, but I want them to come back next year. I wanted the allium and daffodils to complement each other, but they bloomed at separate times.

Hi Heidi,

They look great especially with the tulips. I don't know if the late blooming daffodils will match up their timing with the alliums but maybe someone here might know of a super late blooming variety. :)

In front of my house is a strip of ground between the sidewalk and the street at a 45 degree angle. I plant my flowers there. I asked permission to continue planting in front of an empty lot owned by the hospital and they gave me the green light to do so. I have about 100 ft. This spring I've had groups of flowers about 4 ft. wide and about 6 ft. apart - 3 kinds of irises and these alliums so it's been a nice show (after the tulip and daffodil show waned). I offered allium bulbs to my neighbor and explained they were ornamental garlic. "Can I eat them?" she asked. No! How dare you eat something that flowers so beautifully? Lol Heidi

Thanks for the names Posie. Darn, it's the one that needs more chill than we have. They're stunning.

You are welcome Iris gal. They are gone now. I clipped off the seed heads and they were kinda like koush balls. My son enjoyed playing with them.

so jealous! for some reason out of the...oh...35-45 I planted...only 5 came up..maybe 6. all in the very same area. NONE in any of the others..although they are all almost exactly the same soil, sun, water locations! nice to see an idea of what I would have had. haha

Logixsti, sorry to hear they did not come up for you! Did you plant in the fall or Spring?

If it makes you feel better, I placed 3 Iris rhizomes in the ground last fall - they all rotted!

Yes, so sorry they didn't come up. I bought peony plants last spring, planted and they bloomed all summer. This year not one came back and they're supposed to survive my zone. We might have to have a short condolence session! (sniff)
