Yep. The allium has been blooming for about 4 weeks now. I’m not the only one; customers constantly come in looking for them this time of year, and I have to send them away until fall. Then they forget that they wanted them in the spring.

And then they come back again in the spring looking for the plant... ;)

Mine is up and thick with leaves, but it won’t bloom until June. I have 2 kinds — one is giant and looks like a 4th of July rocket — the other has a smaller bloom, almost acorn shaped. Can’t remember the names. I put them in 3 years ago when I put 1000 bulbs into what was planned to be my rose garden.

Sounds like there's a market for potted alliums.
