Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Bulbs

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Allium moly

Family: (Alliaceae)

Hardy bulb to 12″.  Golden Garlic.  Southern and southwestern Europe.   Star-shaped, 1/2” diameter, bright yellow flowers appear in loose umbels atop leafless stalks in late spring above with flat, tulip-like, blue-green, basal leaves which appear in 2’s.  Sun.  3 & 6

Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Bulbs

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Allium thunbergii

Family: (Alliaceae)

(P) to 2′.  Japanese Onion.  Japan.  The last Allium to bloom making a welcome appearance in September and October.  Dense clumps of foliage give rise to thin scapes of numerous nodding umbels of rose-purple flowers with elongated orange anthers.  The entire ensemble looks like a collection of mop heads, at attention, ready to clean!  Foliage turns a tawny orange in fall.  Sun.  3 & 6

Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Bulbs

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Allium sphaerocephalon

Family: (Alliaceae)

Hardy bulb to 3′.  Drumstick Allium.  Europe, North Africa, West Asia.  Cylindrical, hollow, grey-green leaves to 14 inches long form a grass-like foliage clump in spring.  Sturdy, slender stems rise in late spring and are topped with oval, clover-like flowerheads. Each flowerhead is a tight, dense, one-inch umbel of tiny florets that emerge deep green but mature (top to bottom) to rose-purple, displaying an interesting bi-colour effect.  Excellent when weaving through their neighbours.  Blooms mid-summer.  Sun. 3 & 6

Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Bulbs

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Eranthis hyemalis

Family: (Ranunculaceae)

Hardy bulb to 6″.  Winter Aconite.  Southern France to Bulgaria.  Brightly glowing, buttercup-like, yellow flowers carpeting the woodland are a sure herald of spring.  A most welcome sight after the long winter.  The low growing, dissected basal foliage dies down and disappears by summer.  Moist, well-drained soil.  Shade/partial shade. 3 & T2 & Δ

*Tip: If germination does not occur after 3-4 weeks, place seed pans in a cool location (about 40°) for 2-4 weeks

Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Bulbs

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Anthericum baeticum

Family: (Asparagaceae)

Tender bulb to 2′.  This unusual summer bloomer is native to southeastern Spain where it can be found growing in alpine meadows.  The many star-like, six-tepalled, white flowers are displayed on upright racemes and last for several weeks.  Prominent yellow anthers and slender, grass like foliage in a basal rosette complete the package.  Best grown in a pot with well-drained soil, sun and given winter protection from freezing temperatures.  3, 7 for 4 weeks, T2
