Hi Garden Friends! I hope you enjoyed this video. I specifically left out the name of the varieties I was showing as I only have experience with the specific varieties I'm growing, and can't speak to the growth or seeding habit of other types of clumping ornamental onion/perennial alliums. With that disclosure out of the way, In my zone 6 garden the varieties I have are Millenium, that bloom earlier in the season end of July through August, and the Lavender Bubbles which blooms Mid August through Early September. I found self seeding occuring under each of these varieties in my garden. Thank you, Steph

Fine with me when alliums invasive. I just leave them or trans plant, love them.

Free plants! Spread my pretties❤ I have over an acre so I really wouldn't care..😊

I wish I watched this before I pulled out my drumstick alliums. I didn’t know I could deadhead to help control the spread. They started popping up in my lawn. Thanks for the video!

This is so helpful! Ornamental alliums are so pretty, now I’m on the hunt for a garden friend who has some seedlings they need to get rid of. 😂

Have Serendipity Allium and haven’t seen any seedlings yet. But I wouldn’t mind at all.

Hi Steph! Summer blooming Allium is my second favorite perennial. I happen to love how it clumps and it is so easy to propogate. I must find some Lavender Bubbles Allium. Yours is stunning.

I had two plants and thinking buying more but I’m glad I’ve seen your video now propagate and buy other plants instead😂

Thank you! Great information❤

Slugs do like them

I love the late Spring blooming bulb allium. These clumping forms are now on my list! Thanks for the great advice.

I absolutely love Alliums 😍 I must confess I enjoy them in both the landscape and pots 🥰🥰

Great plant had no idea it reseeded I always thought it was grass from over seeding my lawn how funny!

Hi Steph, this is great sharing. I have echinacea that spreads like crazy. My ladies mantle too. I dont mind too much but its always good to be aware of the plants that have this tendancy. Thank you for another great and informative video.

Thank you for solving my problem. I thought it was grass and was pulling "weeds" all last year. Now I'll let them grow into new plants.

Thank you so much for this video. I was wondering how y'all had late blooming alliums, as I had only been growing the bulbs. Now I know what to look for and hope to add some of these late blooming varieties to my garden. I do have a herbaceous allium I didn't know I had= Garlic chives. They are blooming right now and invasive. I have them next to a walk way and thank goodness they have not jumped into my lawn. I planted them many years ago.

Gosh Steph. I just learned something important about MY own ALliums!! i THOUGHT it was grass weeds growing around them and now I know better. So glad you pointed them out to me. Looks like you may save me a bunch of $$$ on plants. I love ALL my alliums and they are welcome anywhere here in MY zone 6 garden.

I usually deadhead my alliums but not always. After seeing your video I'm going to let some of mine go to seed. I think in the past I have pulled some seedlings thinking they were weeds. Good information.

Mine are self seeding and I love them and so do the bees and butterflies.

I wish that my alliums were MORE invasive. Love them!

Great information!! Thank you for sharing.

Hi Stef 🌺. The alliums plant is amazing in the garden and I love its beautiful flowers . Have awonderful day . 🌺🌻🌺

Timely advice! I planted one Serendipity last year and a few more this year. I cut back one of the plants today and will go ahead and cut back the rest.

so helpful!! I love these alliums. I watched your video about late summer early fall plants where I saw you were growing the lavender bubbles. I recently bought some! I love that it blooms later. Thanks Steph!

Great to know! First time growing them and wanted way more for my acreage but purchased the last ones available. No worries now that I watched your video👍 Thanks Steph 🇨🇦

Great Steph! Love them.

Oh wow ! I didn’t know this. Thanks so much. I love alliums.

Great video!!

I love them and would love to have them spread.

Very handy to know. I believe that A. Millennium is essentially sterile so I mainly use that. But I did plant another variety so will check that one out! Thank you for the heads up.

I love alliums! I added some more to my garden this year. They are such a low maintenance plant for me. 😊

I have the millennium ones from monrovia I got this year. I hope they seed like yours.

I always like those, I am going to plant me some in my garden.

i bought a pot of allium and have kept it in the pot for fear it would be invasive. thanks for this.

Very informative. I had Serendipity from 2022 and love it! I was able to find more this year that were clearanced at $5. So, I bought all 10 of them. I love that the pollinators love them and that most critters do not.

Because of your videos I have planted serendipity and just received an order of Millennium. So excited to see what they do in my garden. i so appreciate all your information!!! Thank you! God bless you!

I wish I had this problem! I love them and I would take any you would send me!!

I'm going to have to invest in me some of them allium Just smell of them onion smell if you crush the seedlings. I would love them to be a little bit invasive in my garden. I love them and they are beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤❤❤

Good video!

Helpful video. I planted 4 millenials, this year, and didn't know they were self seeders. I love them, for all the reasons you cited, but will deadhead since I already have so many self seeding plants. Potting up seedlings is a great idea.

Thanks for the info.

Buen dia

I love them, i have so many kinds of all sizes that bloom throughout spring & still have some Yours look beautiful. Cheers from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦

Thanks so much for the info on Alliums. I live in zone 5 and the rabbits love my alliums! I have to put chicken wire around each plant!

Amazing video! I have a little doubt. When I look for Alliums in the internet, it says it simply is the bloomings of chives, onions, etc. But this kind of Allium doesn't seem like it, right?

As usual your videos are informative, thanks for sharing your experience in the garden.❤️❤️❤️

❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing this Steph, I believe I been pulling lots of seedlings mistaking them with grass 🥴 I would love to move the seedlings to another area instead and grow my allium collection 🤩They are so pretty 😍

Thank you for your video. Very informative. Can you tell me if Alliums do well in mostly shade with just a few hours of sun?

Is there a way to break up a clump without having to dig it up completely?

I'm wondering if allium need to go.thru a cold period to bloom. I'm noticing my millennium are not sprouting seed heads but making actual mini bulbs where the flower heads were. they have sprouts growing and I can see the bulb clump.forming. I was wondering if I put them inside in pots if they will flower next year when I plant them out. any thoughts on this? thank you for sharing your gardens

Thanks. My experience exactly. Will weed.

Got to mine too late and am now weeding out the unwanted sprouts

❤

Belli, io proverò a riprodurli dal seme. Peccato che la fioritura duri poco...

I planted some bulbs last fall,but none came up this spring or summer. I had gotten them from Home Depot. I might try again. Those are so pretty and the bigger ones too.

❤❤

Are these alliums edible? If so, how do they taste?

Great video! I planted these here in Michigan for the first time this year. I also have the spring allium and they do the exact same thing. But I leave them and deal because I love the unique structure. Question, what mulch do you use, I really like the look of it.

So these type of Alliums are not started from a bulb planted in the fall? Did you purchase the plant in the spring ? I absolutely want these in my flower beds!!

Never grew this before. Silly question. These start as bulbs to plant now to bloom next spring?

Invasive? I have a hard time getting my bulb allium to grow.

You can send the seeds to me. 😂

so this is the seed variety allium vs bulb?

How do you know the plants are re-seeding? Might they be spreading by rhizomes?

💖👍🏻💖

Feel free to share lavender bubbles with me 😂

What variety are those allium?

They ought to have smelled of onion .....
