Planting and Growing Information
Plant Allium Sphaerocephalon bulbs in fall, positioning them 4-5 inches deep and 2-3 inches apart in well-drained soil. They prefer full sun but tolerate partial shade in hotter regions. Flowering occurs in early to mid-summer, after most spring bulbs have finished but before late summer perennials take center stage. Their gray-green, hollow foliage emerges early but remains neat and unobtrusive as the dramatic blooms develop.
