I was invited to a birthday party and this home had so so many plants so you know I asked if I could take some cuttings they said sure. I took two cuttings from each plant I ended up with 332 cuttings they had been growing most of the plants all perennials for over 40 years their yard was gorgeous it was better than going to a nursery they knew the names of every one of their plants. I loved how you answered questions before they were even asked good job
Glad you decided on the alliums. Multiple divisions. I usually leave 4 in a clump for divisions for faster growth. Have fun. 🙋👍
Great idea well I’m gonna have to put you on the saved button. I got tropical storm one and two coming through and we already had 10 inches of water last week. Pray for her safety please😂❤
Great video. I have started using scissors when I divide done plants and it has helped me a ton.
Divide and conquer! Great video!
my family grew vegetables when i was growing up for sale either to vegetable markets or supplying local markets. One of those that we grow was green onions. We multiply our plants basically the same way as this. We just chop off most of the roots leaving about an inch of root and chop of most of the leaves. IN about 2-3 months the onion would have multiplied on the ground, so it is fuller and ready for harvest.
Thanks for the great instructional video on division. What kind of pen are you using to write on your tags?
Not sure the name; it's made for plant labels and doesn't fade. Pens for marking livestock ear tags are good too
Just love you videos! They're always just what I need to know at exactly the right time! I also really appreciate your relaxed, yet detailed explanations! Such a treat whenever you put up a new video! I have to admit, I'm a little confused by the fact that to initially grow Allium, we purchase bulbs, yet to propagate the Allium plant, we divide it by it's roots. Are they sometimes sold as rooted plants, or do they always begin from a bulb? Thank you for sharing so much information!
Much appreciated! Bulbs? These started as small clumps last Spring... that's all I know.
The bulb alliums are spring blooming bulbs. Allium Millennium is a herbaceous perennial that blooms mid summer.
@@gaysullivan1942 Ohhh, thank you so much for this clarification! I had no idea there was a difference! I'm happy to have the bulbs for spring, but I guess I'll be looking for the "herbaceous perennials" next season. I don't think I recall ever seeing them (in bloom anyway) at a nursery, but I'll have to look more closely. Thank you so much for making this clarification! I was definitely confused.
I noticed that you continue to fertilize your plants when you pot them up in the fall. Does it seem to help them going into winter and then spring? Or is that a step that could be eliminated until they wake up next spring? I understand that Alliums don’t really die back in the winter but, I am curious about other perennials. I have black eyed Susans and Ajuga that I am dividing this morning. I wasn’t planning on adding any fertilizer to the mix. Maybe I should if there is a benefit. I also mix my fertilizer in with my potting mix as I combine the ingredients. I had trouble with animals knocking over some plants and spilling out the fertilizer when I applied to the surface. Great video as always! God Bless!
I fertilize everything I pot any time of year except winter
I know most mums are perennial, but whenever I plant them they never come back. What am I doing wrong? Zone 5b
Could they be getting too wet over winter and not enough drainage? Or, possibly the opposite that they aren’t getting any water over winter and are drying up? I have also not had the best experience with perennial mums in my wet Pacific Northwest winters and it’s been nearly 20 years since I planted any, but they are getting popular again, so may try again myself next year in an area with better drainage.
@@Gigi-fv9ky 🤔 probably lack of water. I forget that snow doesn’t water them unless it melts lol
good video love divided them perinials we only grow a few of them we to buisy growing evergreens
