A delightful name for this extraordinary drumstick, but keep in mind that what you'll witness is a captivating drum solo. By the time the Summer Drummer blooms, almost all Alliums have long disappeared from the stage.

You may still find a few dried flowers here and there, resilient Alliums that haven't yet fallen, but they will have little music left in them.  Even though it's a solo performer, it still stands out.

Before the Allium Summer Drummer blooms, its elegant flower buds on long, slender stems are already a sight worth seeing. Sleep caps. Once it blooms, the Summer Drummer becomes a true standout, adding a fantastic rhythm to the border."

Allium

Over the last decades the ornamental Onion has become very popular. In the older days we were just dealing with a handful of Alliums, nowadays we count dozens. Not just because she is a nice garden flower, also the flower industry embraced her as a cut flower.

Planting Allium:
Plant an Allium in full sun or light shade in well-drained soil. An Allium is ideal for the wild garden, but also does well in the common border where it considerably extends the flowering season for spring-flowering bulbs. For best results, plant them in groups of five or more. The bulbs can remain in place for years. Only when they grow too close together can you divide the bulbs in the autumn and replant them immediately.
