My adventures with allium. Planted Ivory Queen, Ambassador, caeruleum, drumsticks in fall '14. Ivory Queen never showed, one caeruleum bloomed at the level of the soil, all 3 of Ambassador bloomed, drumsticks bloomed well also.
This spring, foliage of Globemaster came up, one rotted. Ambassador foliage up, one bloomed. Schubertii foliage came up during the winter, disappeared this spring without blooming. Drumsticks getting ready to bloom.
How can we all suck at this?
I want allium! Globemasters are NOT cheap. I may just buy more drumsticks in the fall as they seem the most reliable.
