Planting and Growing Information
Plant Allium Nevskianum bulbs in fall, approximately 3-4 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart. Select locations with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil to prevent bulb rot. These adaptable plants flower in late spring to early summer, creating weeks of visual interest. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally to replenish the bulb for next season's display. During summer dormancy, reduce watering to mimic their native habitat conditions.
