Allium Globemaster Question
Comments (0)Hi, I bought allium globemaster bulbs from Netherlands a couple of months ago and brought them to Pakistan.The bulbs were not chilled or forced by the grower in Netherlands.I placed them wrapped in newspaper in the refridgerator and kept for 45 days.Then I transferred them in moist coco peat and placed in the refridgerator again.After 5-6 days allium started making huge mass of roots.What do I do now ? The bulbs have been chilled for 50 days.This is about time we plant amaryllis and it'd flower in April.November and December would see minimum temperature of 0C and would provide another 400 chill hours.February and March are spring months here. Can I hope to see alliums bloom ? Should I pot them or keep refridgerated ? The temp currently outside is 28C max and 18C min.It'll keep dipping down untill 15 of January.

Comments (9)I love allium, unfortunetly I think our mild winter did them in. All my purple sensation did not return, and some others aren't doing well this year either. When buying them I find the best prices from John Scheepers, or larger lots from Van Englen Inc. My only issue with those companies is that they don't understand our early snow and cold...Last time I ordered Tulips from them I was planting them through the snow. But they looked WONDERFUL in the spring! Here is a link that might be useful: John Scheepers...See MoreAllium Globemaster - does it taste like allium/union?
Comments (2)Technically, ALL alliums are edible but those grown for ornamental purposes tend not to develop a significant bulb OR they are not very tasty. And much too expensive to eat compared to a common onion (Allium cepa)....See MoreAllium Globemaster /// Clay'ish soil
Comments (3)Thx GG. Heh, I was looking at it 2 fold. If I plant it shallow, the drier soil is ontop. At that same token, when it rains, the top is where the moisture hits it. double sided coin eh ? Same areas has had some lillys in them and bulbs are fine.......See Morenatalie4b
