Christophii Allium Flowers - Sparklers Opening Up - Spring/Summer 2022
I've had a few versions of allium around our garden in both of our houses. All the way back in 2011 (eek! That's 11 years ago), we had a few Allium bulbs that I stuck in the ground in Elmhurst . When we moved to Downers, one of the first things I did (in our first Fall) was to put down some Purple Sensation bulbs . During our second Fall bulb planting season, I added even more . Then, in 2020, I added a different kind of Allium - Summer Beauty Ornamental Onion Allium that grow in clumps . These were called for in our plan in a couple of sections, but they were new to me. Then...that same Summer (2020), I quickly added eight more to our backyard . Last Summer, I added a different variety - Serendipity - to our front yard IB2DWs . Three of them were planted, but just two have come back this year. And, last Fall, things got a little nuts with Allium bulb planting. I put in some Pinball Wizard bulbs . I put in some Drumstick Allium bulbs behind the Astilbes in back.
