Nectaroscordum siculum

siris

By Siris


Nectaroscordum siculum (Nectaroscordum siculum (Ornamental onion))

Once called Allium siculum, grown from seed. Must have 500+ One year old seedlings, which I don't know what to do with! Ps, not the sky in the background!

Simbad, Maybe 2/3 years till flowering. Probably sowed as soon as seed ripe, covered with a sheet of newspaper and left outside, under cover, overwinter. But have loads with a year's head start, into the box?

This is in the sunny front. It should have been an Allium christophii. The Necto in the back are not open yet.
