| Alliums are excellent for planting in groups or in a border. Some have flower heads that dry very well. Grow the shorter species at the front of a border or in a rock garden. Many seed freely and naturalize very well. Avoid waterlogged soil. Several species also have culinary uses. Excellent perennializers. |
