I am a landscape designer and have been purchasing 1000's of spring flowering bulbs from A.D.R. Bulbs for 100's of clients in the last 20 years. The bulbs have always been of top quality and if there were any problems, they have been quick to rectify. My orders are often complicated with many varieties and different amounts and they have always filled and delivered everything on time with the best customer care and attention to detail. The pictures in their catalog and website are beautiful. I have visited their facility in NY and was impressed with all their handling equipment and organization. I would highly recommend A.D.R. Bulbs to anyone in the wholesale trade who wants to purchase quality bulbs and work with genuinely nice people.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Allium Miniature 'Atropurpureum'

Timing: Plant in fall before the ground freezes to ensure proper root development. Ideal soil temperature for planting is 60°F or colder.
Location: Choose a sunny, well-drained spot—poor drainage can cause bulb rot.
Depth & Spacing: Bury bulbs two to three times their height and space them six to twelve inches apart for optimal growth.
Soil: Maintain a pH of 6 to 7 and enrich with organic matter for better drainage.
Watering: Keep soil moist but not soggy during initial growth; once established, alliums are drought-tolerant.
Foliage Management: Leaves yellow after blooming—plant among perennials to disguise fading foliage.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to prevent self-seeding unless you want naturalized clusters.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support strong blooms.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Alliums are deer and rabbit resistant but avoid planting in areas with excessive moisture to prevent fungal issues.
Crop Rotation: Change planting locations yearly to prevent soil-borne diseases.
