Alli…yum

allium-landscape-garden-design-ideas

Okay, so it’s not really spelled that way but allium is one of my favorite summer plants and in my humble opinion no garden should be without them.

Allium’s round heads bring so much excitement to the early summer garden and are the perfect bridge between spring tulips and summer bloomers. 

These easy-to-grow bulbs, which are member of the onion family, come in a broad palette of colors, heights, bloom times and flower forms. They make excellent cut flowers for fresh or dried bouquets. I sometimes take the dried seed heads and spray paint them for an interesting addition to bouquets.

Even crowded gardens can accommodate a few alliums because they don’t take up much space.

What’s more, alliums are relatively resistant to deer, voles, chipmunks, and rabbits.  If I have sold you on the need for these great garden performers you will have to wait to plant them. These bulbs are planted in the fall. Look for them in your favorite bulb catalogs.
