One of a few types of Allium I've bought. This is the only blue Allium available. It's a medium height, and the flower head is smaller then some other Alliums. The roots are already starting to form, and when planting keep the pointed tip upwards. They can be planted about 8-10cm deep and in full sun ☀️ I'm trying these in pots #allium #allium-caeruleum

I accidentally dug up one my new allium bulbs the other day and its roots were massive! It had only been in two weeks so I hastily stuck it back in again! 👍

@justin 😱 it should be ok, and yes it's surprising how quickly the roots start to grow! I would probably have just poked it back in and pretend I didn't see a thing 🙈😂👀

Same here Val - I'm not allowed near a garden centre till I've planted what I've already got, and I've got a lot more to come still 😳 @elflin
