Has anyone grown allium or fritillaria in the deep south.If so, what types did you grow?I am considering ordering some and want to know if anyone has had success with these.Thanks!

At the risk of being censored for mentioning a bulb website here, I recommend Brent and Becky's Bulbs. Their nursery is located in one of the Virginia's, I think, same zone as me (7b). I have not personally grown these bulbs, but I know many gardeners here that do, and I know they are successful here. I am planning to grow fritillaries next year: there are so many neat looking ones !

There's no risk of being censored for recommending a business! Here's the link to our Green Pages for Brent and Becky's where you can read recommendations from other members! There's a link to their website at the top of the page!

Thanks! I appreciate the information.

Snake's head fritillaria grew fine, bloomed fine.
Crown imperial did not.
I even tried treating the bulbs like Amarylis... That got foliage... Which died on being planted outside... Planting according to directions? Nothing.

Too expensive to keep trying.

Alliums?
No problems.

stone,Which alliums did you grow?Did you grow them in full sun?
