Planting and Growing Information
Plant Allium Nectaroscordum bulbs in fall, approximately 6 inches deep and 8 inches apart in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. These adaptable plants thrive in full sun to partial shade conditions across USDA hardiness zones 5-10. Expect blooms in very late spring after most spring bulbs have finished but before summer perennials take center stage. The blue-gray twisted foliage emerges early, while the impressive flower stalks appear later.
