Allium roseum from aerial bulbils

Hello. This is my first post here so please treat me gently fellow gardeners.   I have Allium roseum in my garden for the first time this year and I am delighted with it.  I have noticed it has produced aerial bulbils and I really want to have a go at propagating them.  I have found advice on how to do this but I can't find anything telling me when I should remove and separate them from the plant.  Does anybody have any experience with this.  Any help gratefully received,

    Hello horticanine

    I can't see anything specifically for alliums but my book deals with lily stem  bulbils and says "when they are loose" so maybe it's the same in your case. Good luck!

    Thanks very much. I'll leave them be at the moment and keep an eye on them
