Posted @withregram @thefinegardener Allium Giganteum Its almost time to find these beautiful beasts in the garden centers, like #ritchiefeedandseed for fall planting.... The biggest allium always sells out fast! If you plan to add them to your garden this year, choose a place behind other plants for them to tower over & to hide their leaves. As the massive flower balls grow, the leaves will yellow, so good idea to hide them. #allium ##alliumgiganteum #candadiangardening #summer #summerflowers #fallbulbs #springflowers #horticulturist #horticulture #ottawa #ottawagardener #greenlife #green #nature #flowers #purple #plantsmakepeoplehappy #flowersofinstagram
