I planted alliums for the first time this year and got three beautiful
large blooms. These came from bulbs. The blooms are way past their prime,
but are holding their shape and provide interesting character to my garden,
especially since no one in my area has them. My question is tiny little
pods have hardened and inside are little seeds like black coal. Can I plant
these now (or save till spring) for more allium? And will it takes years to
mature since its from seed and not bulb? And in general how does the role
of the seed distinguish itself from that of a bulb? Is the bulb a dormant
plant? and the seed the earliest stage in the plant's life cycle? I'm
grateful this lists allows me to ask such questions without being
embarrassed. Thank you.
