Allium globemaster in zone 10q/9b?

5 years ago

Can these alliums do well for my area? I'm in coastal Bay Area (San Francisco) so we don't have a lot of heat or too much frost. My area is full sun and I have drip irritation.

I ordered bulbs and they'll be here next week. When should I be planting them? When do they normally bloom in my zone? Does anyone have photos of their globemasters in zone 9/10?
