This rare and unusual ornamental onion produces open clusters of small, bell-shaped flowers on it's slender, upright stems in early to midsummer. Allium convallarioides 'yellow-flowered' looks great when teamed with ornamental grasses, so it's ideal for prairie, 'new perennial' or more unstructured planting schemes.
Allium bulbs are easy to grow in a sunny spot with freely drained soil, or a good quality potting compost. Ideally they should be planted in September or October, but could also be planted in early November in milder regions. Dig holes roughly three times as deep as the diameter of the bulb and place them at the base, pointy side up before gently infilling and watering to settle them in. In early spring, as growth begins, apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser, and allow the plants to die back naturally and completely before tidying away.
