Allium 'Ambassador'

Any takers? Seems a shame to put them in the garden bin? Will cut the seeds off what do I do with them next? Can I grow them?

Yes you can once the seeds have dried out, they'll take a while to become bulbs, but I managed it with Iris so you can too with these! You just need patience 😄😄

👏👏👏

@hayleyaj so do I plant the seeds when they are brown? Some are brown some green? Oh my goodness how can these tiny things become bulbs!?! Should be interesting trying.. 👍

Please tag me in on this @Di007

Brown will be fine! I've grown them from seed but neglected them last year, forgetting about them, letting them dry out 😖. All flowering plants are ultimately from seed, including every bulb there is!

Yes, once brown they have dried. So pop them in a pot of compost and keep moist but not wet, in a warm but no direct sun environment. Then be patient. My Iris took 8 months to become viable plants and will take another 8 before they even think about flowering. But how satisfying! 😄😄 @belindah

Looking fwd to giving this a try... There are some already brown @hayleyaj @jeatacake @belindah wow sounds like going to take a long time but as you say @hayleyaj how satisfying its not as if you have to do much just keep an eye on them.. Have loads of wallflower seeds also just not a big enough garden 😡 my borders are getting wider and wider 😂 😊

The best feeling to look at your garden and know that you have grown it from seed. 😍😍

Now I'm thinking I might also give it a try!👍

Why not 👍 @belindah I will be made up if just one happens to grow.. 😀

Took alot of mine out today too Im too impatient to do the seeds and don't have the space to do them would definitely give it a go for sake of a bit of compost and water you never know 👍

Still enjoying the shape of the allium which is giving dimension to my garden 😊

Took all the seeds off mine ysday and placed in a pot 😊

@greenfinger14 would you by any chance have a seed or two you could send to Ohio. I would love allium. 🙏

Not a problem Katie 👍😊 @ktemory will hav to give me yr address tho N I'll send u som

Do you have email I can send it too. @greenfinger14

Beautiful photo 😊

@didnt think of that greenfinger14 I haven't weeded as much this year and am getting multiple plants growing (don't know what is weed and what is plant) so anything I haven't planted myself gets pulled up! 😬 trying to make a cottage garden slowly getting there. Thanks @katgreen 😊

Looking forward to these blooming. First time I have grown allium.. Pretty excited to see how they turn our #purple #allium

Wow! Loads!! Exciting Diane 👏🏼👏🏼

I thought I was buying 6 bulbs = 6 allium but seems to be 6 allium per bulb? Yes very exciting @rachelbrooks

Brill! 👍🏼 mine are definitely only 1 per bulb!
