Let’s talk about alliums—no, not the kind you find in a blooming onion appetizer at your local chain restaurant! We’re diving into the world of flowering bulbs that are the true stars of any late spring garden. Unlike your usual fall-planted bulbs like tulips and daffodils, alliums are the unique, quirky cousins at the family reunion who always manage to impress. Known as ornamental onions, they’re perfect for adding pops of color and vertical flair to your garden borders. Most alliums bloom in June, just after the early spring flowers have had their moment and before summer flowers join the party. They’re the reliable perennials that keep the floral show going strong into the year!
