Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Bulbs

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Lilium martagon var. cattaniae

Family: Liliaceae

Hardy bulb to 5′.  Balkans.  A striking burgundy flowered form of the Turk’s Cap Lily.  Unspotted maroon blooms hang from numerous branches arranged in a chandelier fashion.  Long, cool green filaments display rust-coloured anthers.  Clusters of whorled leaves appear along the stems.  An early summer bloomer.  Sun/partial shade.  3 & T3, then 40º for 2-3 months.

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

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Allium albidum subsp. caucasicum (syn. Allium denudatum)

Family: (Alliaceae)

Hardy bulb to 6″.  W Russia, Romania, Bulgaria.  This rhizomatous Allium is a fine, compact, mat-forming onion for the rock garden.  The white, star-shaped flowers in July and August are large, plentiful and sublime against the carpets of fine, green, flat foliage.  A great way to jazz things up in the rockery in mid to late summer.  Full sun and average moisture soil.  3 & 6

Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Bulbs

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Allium zebdanense
