Allium purple sensation
Question from
Hi,
I planted 5 allium bulbs outside in a pot last October and they came up fine about 6 weeks ago. Now the flowers have all dried up and two of the 'globes' of flowers have what look like bulbs growing in the centre and all have lots of green ?seed pods where the flowers were.
Is this suposed to have happened by now? Can I plant the 'bulbs' or green pods to get new plants? And should I pick all the old flowers off and expect to see new ones?
Thank you for educating me!
