The missing allium (from the previous post)

Found the missing bulb information - I also planted 3 x allium bulgaricum in the black planter which previously held the horseradish.  The picture on the packet showed flowers which were more pendulous/droopy than the one below, but the colours are about the same.

Alliums bought/planted

Finally got round to planting the alliums bought at Tatton last year - they should have gone in in October but 1st January seemed like a nice round date to put them into tubs. 

Into the two green/brown plastic pots I put

5 x Schuberti



10 x Sphaerocephalum



3 x red mohican



I may have got the planting slightly wrong in terms of height - the Sphaerocephalum around the outside of the pots may dwarf the Schuberti.  Perhaps they'll flower at different times - fingers crossed. 

I also bunged a load more Sphaerocephalum from other bulb packets into the long trough which had previously held the horseradish, Thai basil and agapanthus.  The latter have been re-potted with the thought that they will get a bit pot bound and thus flower this year.  The horseradish was treated to its own big tub as it failed to put down a proper tap root in the shallow planter.  Need to get some Thai basil on the way indoors.
