Evening all
i have some purple sensation allium. Some that are half purple half green and some hiacynth bulbs.
my question is, how deep can I plant them. I would like to leave them in but worry I may dislodge or dig up when putting bedding in.

I put my purple sensations in about 5-6 inches deep - they come up each year, but get a bit smaller each time, so i plant a few more every year to top up.
Do I need to put grit in the planting holes as my soil is quite heavy.
Verdun what is mpc??

Chicky , there must be a way to feed alliums to keep them big. Not sure what it is but someone will advise.
Perhaps if you feed as they emerge, they will put on lots of growth which will then feed the bulb as it dies down later.
