Purple Tips Allium Bulb Foliage Emerges Through Leaf Litter - Late Winter - March 2026
The signs of Spring are everywhere right now. Including the green and purple-tipped foliage of Allium bulbs that have broken through the leaf litter layer that is currently *still* covering our garden beds. Below is a look that these crown-like tips bursting proud of their mulch layer. Leave the leaves, indeed. Probably too many this year. But, the time to clean-up is fast arriving and these leaves will be a distant memory soon. Hopefully...they'll stick around, but as tiny fragments of organic material. Not these giant leaf-shaped forms of Oak leaves.
