Title: Help needed with Allium identification
Post by: Jackie C on June 08, 2014, 11:25:51 AM

I am very interested in Alliums and have grown Allium jesdianum and rosenbachianum this year and I can't tell them apart. I can't find anywhere a description of what they should look like. What is the difference? Can any one help?

Hello Jackie- and welcome to the Forum.

Luckily we have a good few onion obsessives around the place , who I hope will soon appear with useful advice - meantime, have a look at this discussion on A. rosenbachianum here :

 I'll add a couple of more links in a moment....
