How many flowers can you get from one allium bulb?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

Well, let me tell you about my personal experience with allium bulbs. I love gardening and have planted allium bulbs in my backyard for several years now. One thing I’ve noticed is that the number of flowers you can get from a single allium bulb can vary depending on the variety and size of the bulb.

For mid-sized alliums, like Purple Sensation, I usually get around 40 flowers from each bulb. These alliums have large, round flower heads that create a stunning display in the garden. They are quite popular for their vibrant purple color and tall stems.

On the other hand, small alliums, like moly, tend to produce more flowers per bulb. I’ve found that I can get around 120 flowers from each moly bulb. These alliums have delicate, star-shaped flowers that create a beautiful carpet of blooms when planted in mass.

Another spring-blooming flower bulb that I enjoy planting is the Anemone blanda. These bulbs produce daisy-like flowers in various shades of blue, pink, and white. From my experience, I typically get around 150 flowers from each Anemone blanda bulb. They are perfect for adding a pop of color to early spring gardens.

Now, let’s talk about Camassia bulbs. These bulbs produce tall spikes of star-shaped flowers in shades of blue and white. From my experience, I usually get around 20 flowers from each Camassia bulb. While the number of flowers may be fewer compared to other bulbs, the dramatic height and beauty of the blooms make up for it.

The number of flowers you can get from one allium bulb can vary depending on the variety and size of the bulb. Mid-sized alliums like Purple Sensation typically produce around 40 flowers per bulb, while small alliums like moly can yield up to 120 flowers. Anemone blanda bulbs usually produce around 150 flowers, and Camassia bulbs yield around 20 flowers.
