Serendipity Allium After Dividing - March 2024

Last year, I discovered that our Serendipity Alliums were out-performing our Summer Beauty Alliums in terms of bloom time and WHEN they bloomed (Serendipity bloomed later).   I've added a number of Summer Beauty via divisions over the years, but I had - until last Fall - not divided the pair of Serendipity Alliums that were IB2DWs.  

I originally planted three of them the middle of the Summer 2021, but only two survived.  (Should have known planting a new perennial in the heat of Summer was unwise.)

Last Fall, I took the two existing clumps and divided them up into five plants.  From two-to-five = net of three new plants

This Spring, all five have come back - for now.  Below is a look at the three in the original IB2DWs bed - close to the driveway:

And below is a look at the other two - in the new conifer garden - they can be seen on the left side of the photo.

I'm thinking that I'll see how these do and perhaps in next year, we'll have even more ready for dividing.
