The blue globe onion (Allium azureum) is a reliable and long-lived perennial that is an ideal choice for beginners due to its modest requirements. If you purchase the bulbs in advance, store them until planting in a dry, airy, and dark place at a mild room temperature where there is no risk of premature sprouting. For successful cultivation, choose a sunny spot in the garden. These onions will grow well in drier, sandy-loam soil that is very well-drained and does not retain excess water. They are excellent for modern steppe plantings, rock gardens, or gravel beds. They require very little watering; persistent waterlogging of the roots does not suit them and could quickly lead to gray mold or fusarium rot.
Plant the bulbs in outdoor beds in the autumn, preferably during the cooler months of September, October, or November, before the ground freezes permanently. The ideal planting depth is 8 to 10 centimeters. To make their beautiful sky-blue flowers stand out and to create a rich cluster, plant the bulbs at a spacing of 10 to 15 centimeters. You can successfully use about 50 to 100 bulbs per square meter of the bed. When planting, always place the bulb with the wider root end down and the tip up. After covering with quality soil, water the planted area lightly and carefully so that the soil settles well around the roots.
During the months of June and July, flowers will appear from the bulbs on sturdy stems 40 to 60 centimeters high, which do not need any additional support or pinching in the bed. During high summer, the plant naturally draws nutrients back into the bulb and its leaves begin to turn yellow. A good combination is therefore with cushion-forming, drought-tolerant perennials or shorter grasses that will cover these dying leaves. The plant is fully frost-hardy down to an extreme -40 °C, so you do not need to remove the bulbs from the ground before winter, but leave them to grow permanently in the bed. In spring, it is only advisable to watch out for slugs and snails that might feed on the freshly emerged leaves.
