An adventure in Alliums!

(1/3) > >>

Palustris:
Actually only one Allium. The flowers are about 3 inches across on a plant no more than 9 inches high Sadly the leaves begin to die as the plant flowers.

Allium nevskianum.

ideasguy:
Nice plant and very good photo Eric!
It is sad about the leaves. Its nice to see the flowers on lush foliage, but if thats its characteristics then so be it - it has made up for it with very stunning flowers .

Palustris:
I think when it is on show they growers remove the leaves, but whether that affects future flowering I do not know and I am not showing so I will leave them to die down naturally.

ideasguy:
I'd say that is best for the plant, if they are anything like Daffs etc.
Am I right in saying that the leaves of Daffs should not be cut down until about 6 weeks after flowering?

Palustris:
Better not cut down at all really, but yes at least 6 weeks.
