Comment |
Excellent cut-flower. "Creamy white drumstick, a little later to flower than Allium ‘Mount Everest’. Very reliable, and easy to grow. Increases quite well. Height 75cm(29.5")." from RV Roger. Mulch with 3 inch depth of straw in October to provide frost protection during the following winter period after planting it. Late planting (Planting Season: September-December) prevents bulbs making early shoots, which can be easily damaged by frost. Plant at 24 inch depth with an inch of fine grit under them for drainage and 20 inches apart. Never plant at perfectly measured distances apart as this looks artificial - plant in clumps of 5, 7 or 9 in a staggered group so that they look more natural when they flower.
