With little knowledge, I'm slowly turning an acre field into a garden! This is my first gardening attempt, so there's such a lot to learn! 🐝🦋🌻

Allium jesdianum 'Akbulak' syn. Allium 'Akbulak', Allium rosenbachianum 'Akbulak'

Does everyone else's leaves go yellow on the allium even though the flower looks healthy? or am I doing something wrong? @pelly @titchyfra @nessas also please do they self seed or do I need to collect the seeds to sow properly?

titchyfra

Perfectly normal to have leaves like this, it's what they do, they suggest planting nearby where other foliage will cover their straggly yellow, dry leaves. I've not noticed mine self seed- maybe takes a number of years🤔try collecting seed but I wonder if not easy , hence cost of them- but others may know for definite!

nessas

I'm thinking because it's a bulb that there will be little bullets tat form on the main bulb 🤔 me thinks but also think you can also take seeds from heads but I will need to double check this as when to take the head off the leaves going yellows just the energy going back into the flower the leaves have taken all they need by now so all the energy then goes into the flower Sylvia Franca @titchyfra 👌🏻

Thank you both @nessas @titchyfra if they are similar to the agapanthus there were plenty of seeds!

So sweet the way this transforms from flowers to seed pods! (Im assuming that's what they are! )

Thanks @MagicsAngel @lovemygarden65 . Totally agree as outs the first time I have grown alliums and im loving all the different stages! Surprised of their robustness against the weather! Thought they would have been blown over in the recent winds and rain!
