Wow that’s fab 😃

I love that photo

Super photo Ange!

Thanks ladies, I think I'll give them all a shake soon - I don't want the seeds pinging all over the floor! 😃😅 @juliesgarden @joannie.a @lilybee

Great photo Ange @anges 👌👏😘

Morning Suzie, thanks very much 😃💜 @jadojado29

😂😂

Good morning Ange great picture 🤗

Thanks Enid 😃💜👍 @godfreye

Morning ☕ Great picture

Love it…

Hi everyone, so many seeds on the alliums 😅 I think I'll need a giant paper bag for them all! 😃💜 #allium I might sow some but I think they take a while to get going and flower. If anyone wants some let me know.

Are you going to scatter the seed or do them in seed trays? 🤫

I think I'll sow them in seed trays so I can keep my eye on them. I might scatter a few once I know what the seedlings look like - I can imagine I'd pull them up otherwise. I need to read up when to do it etc... 💜 @pelly

Hi Ange 👋 thank you but I've enough self sown ones ☺

How long do they take to flower from being sown? @jpea Morning btw! 😀

I'm not sure but I'm sure I heard on GW it was a number of years @anges

Yes, I thought so 🙂👍 @jpea

I think I’ll do the same. I think it takes at least a couple of years from a quick look at the internet 🤫

Nothing to lose.... 🙂👍💜 @pelly

Fabulous foto - does it have a bulb,.? I separated mine and twice as many

Mesmerizing view

I've left the bulbs in the ground 👍😀 @sharonhayden

The #allium have dried out in the summerhouse. I'm going to spray paint some of them at Christmas 🙂

I’ve done the same with some of mine. I’ve still got a few in the garden too 🌟🌟🌟

I left a few in the garden but they went to mush after the rain 😀 @pelly

Mine look ok but I’ve just noticed they’ve shed a lot of seeds already. I think I’ll pull them today though 👍

Sounds like a plan 🙂👍 @pelly

Just read they might not come back like the parent plant if grown from seed @pelly https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/popular/allium/growing-guide

I read something similar on the Gardeners World website but I like surprises so that’s ok 🤫

Yes me too 😀 @pelly

Fab idea 😍

Worth a try 😀👍 @loveofplants

#allium Purple Sensation have gone over now. Will dry them and use indoors. Is it a good time to cut them now do you think and let them dry? I like seeing them in the border but the Liatris are in amongst them so I won't have any gaps. #advice

Sorry, no idea Ange 🤔

I would Ange 👍🏻👍🏻 hang them upside down 🙃

Definitely pick them now Ange ....ideal for dried flower arrangements 👍🙂

Thanks Julie and Pauline, will do 🙂👌 @juliesgarden @flof1952

Thanks Jane 😆 @pelly

#allium 💜💜💜

That’s huge

@anges thank you ange,

💖😍

It is big - this might not be Purple Sensation 🤷‍♀️ 😁 @sharonhayden

#allium Mostly Purple Sensation 💜💜💜 #anges-mygarden #frontgarden

Gorgeous photo- mine are about a month behind- I’m amazed by that ...🤔 also I have loads of leaves - do you cut yours off?

That all looks lovely Ange 💜💚💗

Thanks Sharon (sorry - getting my Sharons and Shonas mixed up! 😄) I keep the leaves on till they've withered away. They're messy but if you underplant with something bushy it can help hide them - forget me nots or cranesbill for example. Look forward to seeing yours soon 😃💜 @sharonhayden

Thanks very much Jane 😃💜 @pelly

Beautiful garden😍💖

Lovely Ange 💕

Wow Ange what a lovely garden 💕

Thanks very much 😃💜💖 @jul071

Thanks very much Deb @debs69 😃💜💖

Thank you so much Deb @debsgarden99 😃💜💖

@anges your garden is absolutely amazing 💜

They only had 1 packet of these left so I'll have to return for more 🙂

My first ever Purple Sensation 💜💜💜 I need more of these for next year 🙂

Wow what a beauty 💚

@spidermonkey Thanks Mark 😃

Super purple Allium 😊😊💜💜

Cataloguing. After mentioning Alliums yesterday, I just happened to be in Wilko buying envelopes and thought I might have a quick look in the gardening section - low and behold I saw these!! 💜💜💜 Couldn't have left them there!

Trip to Wilko’s for me 😁

Morning Linda ☺ Oh you must! 😀 They're so cheap but always do well don't they?! 😍 @murphy2317

Do love Alliums, mine done really well this year. X

I haven't had these before, recommended by @Keely so looking forward to seeing them ☺ @murphy2317

You will love them look fab in the border and over the years they will multiply 💜💜

I like the sound of them multiplying 😀💜💜💜 @Keely
