With their slender stems and spherical blooms, alliums are a show-stopping addition to any garden – and they happen to be blissfully low-maintenance, too. In May, you'll want to focus on fertilizing and consistent moisture, and it's best to hold off on deadheading the flowers, as they will continue to provide an artistic display even as the seedheads dry out.
Allium bulbs are usually planted in the fall, as temperatures start to drop, and they then burst into bloom in early spring, showcasing gorgeous splashes of purple, pink, white, or yellow. They look particularly impressive in containers – or incorporated into garden beds – and they are also beloved by pollinators.
