Yellow Garlic
A compact, pretty, golden plant, Allium moly is a small, bulbous, deciduous perennial that comes up year after year. The leaves are strap-shaped and mid-green. Clusters of bright yellow, star-shaped flowers are borne in May and June; bees and other pollinators love the flowers, making the plant a good addition to a wildlife garden. Plant 10cm deep and apart. If you have heavy clay, it’s best to plant it in containers brought in for the winter, as the plant dislikes winter wet. Good in cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, and borders and beds. Easy to grow, and no pruning needed, apart from removing the spent flowers and foliage. Congested clumps may be divided. Ornamental onions should NOT be eaten.
