Edith Wolford took about two years to acclimatize in Ottawa.
No bloom the first year, but in the second year it put up a bloom
stalk. The result was taken to a non-sanctioned show, almost as a
joke. It looked like an allium with its blooms bunched together and
coming out at all angles.
The third year was much better.
As I recall, the plant had very good garden features from the
beginning. It was clean, increased well, and no disease. It never got
to become a large clump and it was never in the best area of the garden.
As such, I have no complaints and the allium story is always good for a
laugh.
We don't have many Dykes in our garden - it's too small and we can't
control our buying very well. Clarence does well every other year; it's
also dug every other year.

Sandy Ives (where the hard frost predicted last week has come home;
without the snow at least)
