How to Plant
Dig a hole and tuck your bulbs in, pointy side up, about 6" deep (roughly 3 times the size of the bulbs) and about 9" apart. Now fill in the soil, give it a few solid pats so it compresses around the bulbs, then give it a long drink of water. Mark that pot or spot with your wooden plant marker so you know where your Allium live now. Wait for spring.
Where to Plant
Full sun
When to Plant
If planting in a cold region, plant in the Fall, anytime before the ground freezes for the last time. If planting in a warm region, (zones 9 and warmer), plant when it's coldest during winter.

Water when soil is dry, once leaves appear.
Extra Credit
If planting in a container, be sure the pot has ample drainage. Fill the bottom 2-3" of the pot with pebbles to prevent clogging. Wait for the foliage to wilt and turn yellow before clipping it back.
