gardenglassgems said:@jmorth that you very much for the information. I will go ahead and get them planted. We are predicted to get rain tonight into tomorrow. I hope to get the two that you mentioned someday. I love the look of Allium and want to keep increasing. Have you ever grown them from seed? I have many small patches of the Garlic plant which I understand is also in the Allium family. It sure spreads if the head heads aren't removed.

Jeanne, we grow lots of kinds of allium - I love them, too - and the Purple Sensation self-seeds itself all over the place. I've never tried growing the others from seed, but the bulbs do come back here. I think the advice to plant them at 3 x the depth of the bulb is good advice - I plant them even deeper than that (4 to 5 times) and they are fine and return every year.
