Should I deadhead alliums?Updated 21 days ago

Alliums can be deadheaded once the flowers have faded. As with all bulbs, the stem and leaves should be allowed to turn yellow before it is removed at ground level. Many people choose to leave the spent flowerheads intact as the seedheads look attractive in the border through summer and the hollow stems are a welcome place for insects to hibernate during the colder months.
