    Allium azureum

    Mesmerizing! This truly Blue Allium is unlike anything else in the late spring and early summer garden. These magnificent Blue Allium grow 2-3" in diameter and float 18-24" above the garden. The exotic blooms retain their color for nearly 4 weeks and look splendid when planted among other allium, especially Drumstick!

    • Allium require full sun for the best blooms
    • Well drained soil is a must for allium bulbs
    • In heavy, clay and poorly drained soils amend the soil prior to planting. Amend your existing soil by incorporating a combination of top soil, compost, manure, and leaf mold.
    • Fertilize at planting with Hi Yield Bulb Food or for organic gardening use Bulb-Tone. Apply fertilizer at least 3” below the bottom of the bulbs so that the roots will get the most benefit from the fertilizer.
    • Plant allium bulbs 2-3” deep, with the old roots of the bulb touching the earth, the pointed end should be facing the sky.
    • Spacing will vary based on variety, refer to the Allium packaging for specifics. Plant allium in clusters or space throughout the garden for a neat geometric design element.
    • Immediately after planting, water the allium planting area. This helps to eliminate air pockets. After the initial planting bulbs do not require additional watering in fall or winter and prefer to be kept dry.
    • Apply a 2” layer of mulch in late fall.

    I just planted these and will write another review in the spring, but wanted to say the bulbs arrived promptly and look perfect. No mold, nor is anything dehydrated or damaged in anyway.

    Easy to plant!

    Very cute, healthy bulbs that are easy to plant. It’s still a very warm November in zone 8 and these are already coming up. I hope they hold off blooming until spring!

    I’m in St Paul Mn and I’m pretty sure all of these that I planted came up at the end of May. They weren’t blue like the photo, but I’m still pretty pleased with the quality of bulb and survival rate.

    They all came up!

    Ordered 10 in fall 2022, and they all came up in the past couple weeks! All have buds, waiting for bloom.
