Keep Your Spring Landscape Flourishing

One of our favorite spring flowers at Bayview is the Allium, with its sturdy, long green stem topped with a sculptural ball of dozens of tiny (usually) purple flowers. They add sophistication to flowering spring beds and are the perfect cut flowers to fill a deep flower vase. Alliums are part of the onion family and share the same visual characteristics of the blooms that appear on chives but on a much larger scale. They are a clump forming perennial and will multiply year after year. For best results, plant Allium bulbs in September or October in an area of your garden with well drained soil that receives full sun and is protected from wind.
