How to plant allium bulbs correctly
Planting allium bulbs is not rocket science, but a few handy tips can make it a lot easier. Follow the steps below and your ornamental onions will get the best start:
-
Dig a hole 10 to 15 cm deep
Allium bulbs like a cozy spot under the ground. Make sure you don't plant too shallow. -
Place the ball with the point facing up
Sounds logical, but is often done incorrectly. The tip points up, the roots down. -
Note the distance between the bulbs
Large bulbs? Then keep 7 to 20 cm distance. Smaller varieties can be placed a bit closer together: about 3 to 7 cm. -
Use well-drained soil
Alliums do not like wet feet. So make sure the soil is well drained. -
Water after planting, especially in dry weather
A sip of water will get them started and then you can safely leave them alone. -
Let nature do its work
After planting, you hardly have to look after them. In the spring, they will surprise you with their bloom!
Allium bulbs are durable and continue to flower for years
Did you know that allium bulbs can last for years if you take good care of them? You don't have to dig them up after flowering. Just leave them there and give them time to strengthen themselves.
It is important to only remove the leaves when they are completely withered. This allows the bulb to withdraw all its energy. This ensures a strong flowering in the following year. With a little patience, you can enjoy these beautiful flowers every season.
Combine alliums with other perennials
Allium bulbs do well in borders, but also in combination with other bloomers. Think of tulips, ornamental grasses or perennials with soft colours. They complement each other beautifully and strengthen the whole.
You can also plant alliums in groups for an extra powerful effect. For example, place them between low plants so that the long stems really stand out. Or plant them as playful accents spread throughout your garden.
