Plants Allium purples sensation in mix with tulips 2 year agos. First years results was fantastic, but this years after tulips has pass I notice that more than half of also Allium has disappeared. I just wondered what I did wrong? Here images from first year and this year.



But this year just so disappointed

    Dig a patch up and have a look, see if the bulbs are still there, have they rotted away, been eaten by vine weevil grubs.

    There are a couple of posts earlier about the same thing. Mine didn't come back this year either despite being in optimum ground. Expensive to buy the bulbs every year.

    Must be a funny year for alliums. My new Mount Everest bulbs (planted last autumn) are up and flowering but are under 12" high. That's much shorter than the expected height of approx 90cm I read online.
