The perfectly round balls on their tall stalks are a delight to see, they look like gumdrops or lollipops, and create a happy and playful mood. Line a walkway with them or plant them in clusters they are sure to bring a smile to people's faces!

 

 

Allium Giganteum Seeds Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation: Allium giganteum seeds do not typically require stratification, but soaking them in warm water for 24 hours before planting can help improve germination rates. Soil Preparation: Choose a well-draining, fertile soil mix. Adding compost or well-rotted manure can help improve soil quality. Alliums prefer slightly alkaline to neutral pH soil. Sowing Seeds: Sow seeds on the surface of moist soil and lightly press them in. Cover lightly with a thin layer of soil or fine grit. Watering: Water gently to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Light: Place in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Alliums require full sunlight for optimal growth. Temperature: Maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) for optimal germination and growth. Germination: Seeds typically germinate in 3-4 weeks, but it can take longer. Be patient, as alliums are known for their slow germination. Transplanting: Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves and are strong enough, transplant them to individual pots or an outdoor garden bed. Space them about 6-8 inches apart to allow for growth.
