Giant Allium is a perennial herbaceous plant with a very impressive height of 80 to 150 cm. It is a very decorative ornamental type with stately violet-rose umbels of up to 20 cm in diameter. It originates from the Middle East and Central Asia.
As an ornamental plant, it is used in parks and gardens and forms a wonderful ensemble in flower beds and borders when in a group with other plants.
It can also be used as a cut flower in a vase as a stylish living ambiance enhancer and is a very special highlight on the balcony or terrace in a bucket or plant pot form.
The giant onion requires nutritious, but water-permeable, well-drained soil. It prefers a sunny, dry to slightly damp location, and tolerates waterlogging, but only poorly. In Central Europe, the giant onion is cold-hardy. Propagation takes place by onion division or by seed.

yes id did buy and receive bamboo seeds from you. i planted same and now cautiously await some indication the sprouting will begin. we are in northern nj where it is quite cold so i am keeping the plantings in a planter system we use for seedlings. only time luck and patience will tell the ultimate story. if the seeds come to be small plants we will replant into pots until spring and after that we are guardedly optimistic. thanks for the request and service. stewart a farber
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
