I have never tried them but got some seeds anyway. They look like they would be happy in a flower border so they look pretty and are edible.

I started some off in a few pots this year (several large flower buckets
) I've given all but one away, judging by how good they grow you will never be without them! I've got a "cottage type" garden so I'll be planting mine there. I think allium flowers are gorgeous.

Thanks Scarlet
These are the kind of plants I like edible/pretty and probably bug friendly when in flower. I will start some in containers. The seeds I got said they were 'red' and I suppose that means the stems?
Can they get attacked by the maggots that munch through leeks?I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison

They are red at the base/ bulby bit that isn't that bulby
They can get attacked by bugs but as long as you grow strong healthy plants they will overcome it like most things. I always found them a great fuss free plant. Bees and hoverflies tend to like the flowers.
