    I planted alium bulbs three weeks ago. Here they are now 6" high. Is this right?

    [​IMG] Hi Rich,
    I think allot of bulbs have got a little confused this year. I have some of my well established daff bulbs almost ready to flower :confused: :confused: I don't know why this is & so far nobody has come up with an answer as to why either. I just hope they will survive their early call. :( :rolleyes:

    Depends on what the alliums are. Many of them are almost evergreen and many of them are winter growing. They produce their leaves over winter and flower in Spring/early summer as the leaves die off.

    I don't even know what they are. My wife presented me with a bag and said "They're Alliums".

    "What type are they? What are they like?"

    "Alliums, they're really pretty".

    So that's it, I know no more about them.

    My purple aliums have white "egg like" blobs in the center.
