Allium christophii (Persian Onion) [25 Seeds]

Germination Information: I recommend these seeds only for patient gardeners who have experience with seeds that need a natural or artificial chilling period. Honestly, it is easier and quicker to start with purchased bulbs. But if you enjoy growing something different from seed and don’t mind waiting a few years to get flowers, these can be an interesting and rewarding challenge.

The best approach is to sow the seeds, lightly covered, in a pot in fall to midwinter and set it outdoors for germination in spring. (The winter-sowing approach works well with these species.) If you purchase the seeds after the ideal outdoor sowing period, you will need to give them an artificial cold period of about 2 months.

Note that this information will not be on the seed packet you receive.

Please read the description as well before ordering.
