Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Allium Purple Sensation prefers well-draining soil and a sunny location. Dig a hole that is about twice the size of the bulb, place it pointy side up, and cover it with soil, ensuring it is planted at a depth of about 3 inches.
2. Watering: Once established, this plant is drought tolerant and requires minimal watering. During dry spells, water sparingly, ensuring the soil is not overly saturated as this can lead to bulb rot.
3. Pruning: This plant does not require much pruning. After the blooms fade, you may remove the spent flower heads to tidy up the garden, but leave the foliage intact until it turns yellow in order to allow the plant to gather energy for next season’s blooms.
4. Fertilizing: A light application of a balanced fertilizer in early spring when new growth appears can benefit Allium Purple Sensation. Avoid heavy feeding, as this plant thrives in average soil.
