    This can happen, I had it last year with my Allium Roseum. I wouldnt worry too much as mine flowered perfectly image

    A bit early but they do make their growth over winter and they are from the coldest part of Caucasus and Steppes, so they will survive.

  • thanks guys phew I will keep you posted on there progress

  • think all the alliums think it is spring time - my batches of chives which I split a few weeks ago for next year are all growing with lots of new growth - should be going the opposite way - there can be no harm in growth at this time of year - cannot be a tougher plant around...
