Description
Allium Nectaroscordum, also known as the Honey garlic, is an unusual and striking bulbous flower. Native to the Mediterranean region, this plant is known for its exotic and graceful appearance. The Allium Nectaroscordum produces large flower heads with numerous bell-shaped flowers that range in color from creamy yellow to deep reddish brown. The flowers are surrounded by green, drooping bracts, giving them a unique appearance in the garden. The Honey Look adds a touch of exoticism to borders, rock gardens and wild gardens. This plant also attracts bees and butterflies with its nectar-rich flowers.
Care
Allium Nectaroscordum thrives best in well-drained soil in a sunny to semi-shaded location. The bulbs should be planted at a depth of about twice their own height, with the point pointing upwards. After planting, the bulbs should be gently pressed and well watered. This bulbous flower is winter hardy and is best planted in the fall so that it can bloom in the spring. It is important to keep the soil moist during the growing period, especially during dry periods. After flowering, spent flower stems can be removed, but the leaves must remain intact to allow the bulb to store energy for the next growing season. Allium Nectaroscordum can reproduce by seed dispersal and by the formation of new bulbs underground.
Size
The flower bulbs have a circumference of approximately 8/10 cm upon delivery.
