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.
