Plant prep: Avoid planting in places that do not drain well to avoid soggy soil. Plant allium bulbs in the fall for late spring or early summer blooms. Plant them about 12 inches apart at a depth of 2 to 3 times the diameter of the bulb and water well.

Light: Plant Alliums in full, direct sunlight.

Water: Keep soil relatively moist, if the alliums sit in water for too long it will rot. An Allium is able to withstand long dry periods because of its water and nutrient absorbing roots.

Temperature: Alliums will grow steadily within 40-70 degrees fahrenheit.
