Allium schubertii, which has various common names including ornamental onion, flowering onion, tumbleweed onion and Persian onion, is a species of monocotyledonous flowering plant. It belongs to the onion and garlic genus, in the subfamily Allioideae of the family Amaryllidaceae. It occurs in the Levant and Libya.
Allium schubertii has flower and seed heads that have been compared to fireworks exploding, and both are dried and used in flower arranging, and can even be sprayed with decorative paint and used as Christmas tree decorations.[8][2] The American Horticultural Society recommends growing these bulbs in AHS planting zones 5-8. It appears, however, that they may be even cold-hardier than that. This depends on the heaviness of the soil: in heavier soil that retains water in winter, the survival of these plant is significantly decreased.[9]
Award-winning Allium schubertii is grown for its unique and attractive display of loose, star-shaped, rose-purple flowers that bloom in giant, spherical umbels, up to 9-12 in. wide (22-30 cm), in late spring to early summer. They rise atop clumps of strap-shaped, blue-green, basal leaves which wither as the flowers begin to bloom. This spectacular bulbous perennial can be forced indoors in colder climates. Seed heads dry after bloom, and can be left for ornamental purposes or picked for flower arrangements. When the flower head ripens, the inflorescence detaches from the stem and rolls down the garden, thus dispersing the seeds.
Commonly called tumbleweed onion, Allium schubertii is a perennial ornamental favored for its large, frilly flower heads and ease of maintenance. It grows best in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 to 9, where it is often planted in large groups to create a dramatic flower display in late spring. Tumbleweed onions grow from bulbs, which can be divided from an existing plant or started from seed. The seeds germinate reliably under warm, moist conditions, but the resulting seedlings may take up to three years to produce a mature, dividable flower bulb. Start tumbleweed onion seeds approximately eight weeks before the last spring frost.
Ornamental allium are just a small part of a large genus of over 400 species of mostly onion scented herbs that includes the common onion, leek, garlic, chive and shallot. This makes gardeners wonder if they should include them in their ornamental gardening plans since it conjures up images of supermarket produce. Allium blooms create high drama and interest in the garden and range in color from white, yellow, pink to purple, few to a great many, always in a ball shape of loose or tight, sparse or dense flower clusters. The leaves of only a few smell like onions - normally only when bruised. With over 300 species to choose from, the allium group is a popular choice for the spring garden.
Allium schubertii, is a bulbous perennial that is ornamentally grown for its impressive display of rose-purple flowers that bloom in giant, spherical umbels. This plant is native from the eastern Mediterranean to central Asia. Strap-shaped, blue-green, basal leaves form a clump of foliage in spring surrounding a stout scape. Leaves begin to wither as the flowers begin to bloom. Each flowerhead contains as many as 50 small, rose-purple, star-like flowers which bloom at the ends of pedicels of varying lengths (fertile ones to 4\" long and sterile ones to 8\" long). Seed heads dry after bloom, and can be left on the plant for ornamental reasons or picked for flower arrangements. Dried seed heads that fall off the plant will tumble along the ground with the wind spreading seed as they go, hence the common name of tumbleweed onion.
Allium schubertii is an unusual-looking allium, bearing spiky heads of flowers with stems of different lengths, resulting in a dramatic effect. Individual florets are purple with a green centre. It's perfect for growing in sunny borders and in pots as an unusual centrepiece, and it makes a striking cut flower.
For best results, plant bulbs in fertile, well-drained soil up to three times their diameter. Grow Allium schubertii in well-drained soil, in a sunny spot. It's not fully hardy and in colder regions should be mulched. Alternatively, plant it in pots and move to a frost free area in autumn.
After they have finished blooming let the foliage die back naturally (to build up energy reserves within the bulb) and only remove the dead foliage once it has completely separated from the bulbs. You can either deadhead the finished blooms or allow them to dry and let the seeds be blown to other parts of your garden. Eventually they too will produce new alliums. Even the dried flowers are still quite decorative for a while and after 4-6 weeks you can easily pull them loose (don't force it) and bring them indoors as a dried bouquet. Leave the bulbs in the ground and fertilize them with bonemeal, bulb booster or 10-10-20 early every Spring when the foliage begins to emerge again. Divide and replant them early Fall after they become overcrowded (and flowering diminishes) after 8-10 years.
Wildlife and Allium Schubertii: A good plant to attract butterflies, Allium schubertii does not attract wildlife that you probably don't want on your land, namely deer. Like many strong-smelling specimens (remember, it is a type of onion, after all!), it is a deer-resistant plant. So far, so good. The outlook is not so sanguine, however, if you're a pet owner (see below).
Care: The leaves of Allium schubertii are not especially attractive -- particularly during and after flowering. But resist the temptation to tidy up by cutting the leaves. Messy as they look, they are serving a purpose, taking in nutrients through photosynthesis. So let the leaves remain standing until they turn completely brown. Divide in fall.
Uses in Landscaping and Beyond: In spring Allium schubertii is spectacular enough to serve as a focal point in a planting bed of small plants. Give it plenty of space, as you do not want the foliage of other plants obscuring your view of it during its peak display time. Consequently, avoid planting it next to large plants which will swallow it up and render it an afterthought in your design -- a landscape design mistake of which I was initially guilty.
Schubertii Bulbs produce the ideal variety for container growing as the foliage is also very nice. Alliums naturalsie very well.Please note the bulbs on our website are sold in packs only (not as loose Bulbs).Best for containers or bordersGuaranteed to bloomFlower Colour: Reddish-PurpleBulb Size: 12/+cmConditions tolerated: Full Sun / Partial ShadePlanting Depth: 4 inches/10cmEventual Height: 75cmPlanting Season: Autumn - Winter Brand: Simple PleasuresTop Tips for Planting Allium BulbsPlant your alliums in autumn in a sheltered, sunny position with good drainage. You can improve drainage by raking the top foot of the soil mixing in several inches of peat or compost. Allium bulbs should be planted 4 times the bulbs depth, in groups, spacing them about 8 inches apart for larger varieties and 4 inches for smaller double check on the bulb packet for exact spacing recommendations. Add a layer of Bulb Planting Compost to prevent rotting. Feed with slow release plant feed regularly throughout the growing season. Make sure you dead-head before seeds disperse to preserve strength. Divide and replant overcrowded clumps after the foliage and flowers have died.
Allium schubertii is a fantastic, whimsical giant onion, with flower pedicels of various length, creating a big spidery ball of blooms. Not reliably hardy in cold climates. - The first photo was taken by Lauw de Jager. The second from Kelly Irvin is an example where they are planted too close together. This picture might help with imagining the actual size of the inflorescence. The young model accompanying the onions goes by the name Gabriel. The third was taken in its habitat in the Golan Heights- Syria by Oron Peri. Photo 4 of commercially supplied bulbs on a 10 mm grid and photo 5 of shoots in January by David Pilling
So I bought two Allium schubertii bulbs the fall before last and planted them in the garden. Last spring they came up without a hitch and bloomed nicely. This year they sent out the foliage (albeit smaller than last year) but no blooms What gives I haven't been digging much, if at all, in the areas they are planted. Haven't added a top dressing of soil (so as to bury them too much). Am I mistaken that these are supposed to come back and bloom year after year My 'Purple Sensation' Alliums (planted many years ago) didn't come up this year either now that I think of it. Maybe just a bad year for the Allium Any way to get the schubertii growing again Lift and replant maybe
From my understanding alliums are pretty drought-tolerant but that often means they don't do well with too much water. Was last year perhaps unusually wet Maybe the bulbs or roots were attacked by nematodes or started to rot.
I also have this issue of 2 of the 3 schubertii not blooming after initially blooming the first year .. i also left the seed head on all 3 that bloomed that first year but thrn in the winter i did cut them all off but only 1 came back
Allium schubertii, which has various common names including ornamental onion, flowering onion, tumbleweed onion and Persian onion, is a perennial plant that grows from an underground bulb and which produces vivid green, strap-like leaves in the spring, which die back before it blooms. It grows to around 50 cm tall. These flowers consist of 50 or more star-shaped, rose-pink florets on stems of differing lengths producing a starburst effect which can be up to 30-45 cm (12-18\") across! The desiccated flower heads eventually break off the dried out, dead stems and, blown around by the desert winds, cast their seeds abroad as they tumble around. The plants live for a number of years, and new plants can be created by saving the seeds from previous years flowers. 59ce067264
