New Allium curled

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

Hello-

I recently planted these millenium Allium. I am new to the world of this plant and wondering if a red flag is the curled end? I am excited to see them bloom but worried they might not be doing so well.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you.

I think I have the same kind of "allium" as yours.... I planted them about a couple of weeks ago and the tops were all curvy like yours, almost pointing down... since then, they started straightened up and the blooms started to come out... I think those purple mini flowers are still going to open so just imagine... :)

Looks fine to me. A number of alliums have nodding flower stalks that straighten out as they mature. Hardneck garlic is a classic of course. But even that varies some. Wait and see how the numerous flower stems turn out. If this turns out anywhere like the hype, you should be very well pleased.
