And remember…….’plant zone is just one digit in the equation of plant happiness’! There are SO many other variables! Most fall planted, spring bulbs seem to perform better when planted in cool soil, so it is best to plant after you have had your first killing frost but before the ground freezes hard. Most summer bulbs seem to resent being planted in soil cooler than 60°, so either wait to plant when the soil is warmer or pot up your bulbs and use bottom heat to get them started! And remember….whz (Winter Hardiness Zone) ONLY means how cold a winter the plant can survive in the garden – NOT whether or not it will love being in your garden in the summer!

This name was taken over by Linnaeus for the entire genus. The name Allium comes from the ancient Romans and means ’onion’ or ’leek’. Several hundreds of Allium species exist, but only a modest few have made a name for themselves as garden plants. ![]() ![]() Many species bloom in early summer - just after the spring-flowering period and just before the exuberant full bloom of summer.
