Question
I have two allium(sp?)k826v flowers that I planted last year, which bloomed beautifully.  This year the stems are real slender and won't support the flowers, which is a little small.  What can I do or What have I done? Thank You.

Answer
Hi Ann,
Thanx for your question.  Alliums benefit from fertilizers that are higher in phosphorus and potassium.  This helps with root/bulb building and flowering as opposed to higher nitrogen which benefits green growth.  If you live in an area with acidic soil this might be doing it to.  I recommend you apply some well-composted manure around your plants in the spring and in mid-summer.  You can find well-composted manure in bags at nurseries and DIYs.  I hope this helps.
