Just curious, I love these. Do you dry them? If so, do the hold up well in arrangements or are they fragile. I have a space I have been debating between these and purple iris. Thanks!
Allium are good in floral arrangements and are not too fragile but they are messy. They drop little black seeds (like poppy seeds) as soon as they start to dry. I decided to leave my flowers alone this year and let the seeds fall in the bed. Hopefully, this will result in more allium in years to come.
I'm not sure about drying but I bet they would do pretty well.
After they finish blooming, cut off the dead foliage and leave them alone. They will bloom again.
I just leave mine in the ground and they come back every year. I started with 1 blossom and I had 5 bloom this year. I probably planted the original bulb about 6 years ago.
