Growing Instructions

So indoors: Feb-Mar

Sow outdoors: May

Flowers: April-June

Sow directly where they are to flower at any time of year, or sown indoors, then overwinter seedlings in the greenhouse and plant out the following spring. To sow directly plant the seeds 20mm deep, winter cold will naturally stratify the seeds with seedlings emerging in the following spring. To sow indoors surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost, just cover with soil. Ideal temperature for germination is between 18C and 22C for 2-4 weeks. Then cold stratify -4C - +4C for 4-6 weeks then return to warmth at a temperature between 5-12C where the seeds should germinate. Germination can be slow and erratic taking 18 days to 12 months. Repeat warm/ cold cycle if germination does not occur. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots and grow on. Acclimatise for 10-15 days before planting out. 

Alliums thrive in sheltered, sunny, open, well-drained sites. They do not like cold, exposed or waterlogged conditions. Avoid planting in freshly manured soil.
