The Allium karataviense is as old as the road to Kralingen, every gardener with a little knowledge of flower bulbs is familiar with this old geezer. She has been traded for years. She was not really beautiful, a bit dull and grey in appearance. She was an old geezer and she also looked like an oldie. But in the karataviense, which is propagated by seed, you always saw plenty of variation. A bulb grower thought; what if I only harvest the seed of the most beautiful karataviense and when that seed blooms then only harvest the seed of the most beautiful karataviense and if I repeat that a few more times then they should automatically become more beautiful. I think the grower has been working on this selection for more than 20 years but the result is astonishing. Hats off, deep bow. He has brought his clone of the karataviense onto the market under the name Red Giant. An eye-catcher, beautiful stocky plant with a graceful large onion flower on a graceful evergreen leaf rosette. Also protrudes on pots and in flower boxes to use.
Planting flower bulbs
When should I plant my flower bulbs? If you want beautiful flowers such as tulips and daffodils in your garden in the spring, you will need to plant flower bulbs in the fall. This can be done as soon as the leaves fall from the trees. Make sure that the spring bloomers are in the ground before the frost sets in.
Summer bloomers such as dahlias and lilies should be planted in the spring so that they bloom in the summer.
Planting flower bulbs is not complicated at all. The same principles apply in principle:
- do not plant the bulb too deep in the ground (usually between 8 and 18 centimeters)
- provide good natural conditions
- be frugal with fertilizer and let the bulb do its work
