Allium Time


It's time to plant your allium bulbs.  They look like a plant from another planet and are so sculpturally beautiful. They return each spring to greet you and the butterflies love them.  What's not to love?

Beautiful! They look very "fairyland."
I can see why the butterflies like them!

Not just beautiful, but aren't they also very effective as a deterrent for some bugs?

I have bought these at the florist's but had never seen them growing.
They are even more stunning, your plants from another planet.
