Allium seeds are small and should be planted just below the surface of the soil. Press them lightly into the soil or cover with a thin layer of vermiculite or fine soil.
Yes, green onions and scallions refer to the same vegetable. The terms are used interchangeably in different regions.
Alliums pair well with a variety of plants in the garden, including perennials such as iris, peonies, and daylilies. They also complement annuals like marigolds, petunias, and zinnias. Consider planting them alongside ornamental grasses for added texture and interest.
