You still have time to plant allium bulbs.
The best time is from October to December.
Alliums produce stunning globe-shaped flowers that rise above borders in late spring and early summer.
They are hardy plants that can withstand heat and rain, provided the soil drains well.
These sculptural blooms belong to the onion family, which makes them tougher than they look.
Their height offers great dimension in the garden and brings a fun, architectural element to any border.
Pairing tip:
Euphorbia and ornamental sage work really well as planting partners.
Combined with late spring bulbs, your beds will be a wash with colour.
Savvy Saturday Tip:
If you have an onion that’s not suitable for eating, plant it in the ground and wait for your allium to appear.
The garden often rewards simple experiments.
