Large flowers are composed of dense, star-shaped florets. As the flowers fade, new florets take their place, so the blooming period is that much longer. Long, strap-shaped, green leaves are not used for culinary purposes.

Allium grow best in a rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Leaves die back as flowers begin; don't cut back the foliage as it feeds the bulb for next year's flower. Once the flower is spent, remove the flower stalk and leave the foliage until it completely dies back. It then can be removed by gently pulling on the leaves. Do not over water and let the soil dry out between waterings.
