Millennium Allium
Spring Planting: this product will be shipped late April through May according to your hardiness zone.
Allium. Award winning and some say the very best Allium ever. Long lasting glossy green foliage is loaded with equally perfect glove-shaped rosy-purple flowers. Very attractive to bees & butterflies, this is a carefree perennial that will not disappoint. Alliums are known not just as a relative of the onion, but also as a class of ornamentals that make ideal cutflowers. Alliums can be planted in any location of a garden or flower bed. Their long-lasting blooms make a bold statement and are always a great topic of conversation for passersby. Height 16-20". No. 1 root.

Growing Information
Upon Arrival:
It is very important to plant as soon as possible after you receive them. If it is necessary to store them for a short time before planting them, open the plastic bags. If the roots appear dry, soak them for a few hours in warm water. Store in slightly moist peat moss in a cold, but not freezing location until you can plant. They can also be placed in pots of soil if planting will be delayed for more than 2 weeks. Use any peat-based potting soil and pots with drainage holes.
Soak bare-root perennials in water for a few hours before planting. Unless otherwise specified, bare-root perennials are usually planted with the crown (where the shoots meet the roots) an inch below the soil surface. Firm soil gently to eliminate air pockets and water in well. Mark the area clearly since it may be a while before the plant shows itself.
Planting:
Very easy to grow in full sun to part shade. It will tolerate soil of any fertility and will grow in clay soil. Place crown just at or slightly below soil level.
Growing:
This selection has not been known to reseed and is not invasive. It may be propagated in fall by digging it up and dividing the rhizome with the bulblets attached. Allium is typically pest and disease free. Its aromatic foliage also makes it deer and rabbit resistant.
