FAQs
Can I grow these in containers?
Yes, all varieties in this collection perform well in pots provided you use free-draining compost and ensure the containers have adequate drainage holes.
Do I need to lift the bulbs in winter?
No, these are hardy bulbs and can remain in the ground throughout the winter in most temperate climates.
Are these bulbs deer or rabbit resistant?
Alliums are generally avoided by deer and rabbits due to their onion-like scent, making them a great choice for gardens prone to wildlife.
What should I do if my bulbs arrived before I am ready to plant?
Keep them in the provided paper bag in a cool, dark, and dry place with good ventilation until you are ready to plant them in the autumn.
How many of each bulb are included?
The set includes 6 Purple Sensation, 1 Gladiator, 20 Moly, 18 Sphaerocephalon, and 5 Siculum bulbs.
Troubleshooting
Bulbs failing to emerge in spring
Ensure they were not planted too deeply or in soil that stays permanently waterlogged, which can cause rotting.
Flowers are stunted or thin
Check that the bulbs are receiving adequate sunlight; Alliums generally require full sun to reach their full architectural height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting Time: Plant bulbs in autumn when the soil begins to cool but before the ground freezes.
Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is free-draining. If you have heavy clay, add grit to the bottom of the planting hole to prevent waterlogging.
Planting Depth: A general rule is to plant bulbs at a depth three times the height of the bulb.
Sunlight: Most Alliums thrive in full sun or partial shade.
Maintenance: Leave the foliage to die back naturally after flowering to allow the bulb to store energy for the following year.
Care: Keep the included picture card handy for specific spacing instructions tailored to each variety.
