Flowering Garlic

Allium moly

Description

Mediterranean bulb with golden yellow flowers that blooms in spring. Robust plant with low maintenance requirements, ideal for dry gardens.

Growing tips

Plant the bulbs in autumn in a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight and well-drained soil, as it does not tolerate excess moisture. Watering should be sparse, especially in summer when the plant goes dormant; winter and spring rainfall is usually sufficient in Mediterranean climates. It is very hardy and withstands frosts down to -15 °C, so no special outdoor protection is needed. Caution: this plant is toxic, so handle it with gloves and keep it out of reach of children and animals.
