Description
Allium moly, or golden garlic, blooms in late spring in June. It produces dense and compact umbels measuring 5cm (2in) in diameter, which stand erect on bare stems. These umbels contain about 30 bright gold star-shaped flowers. They are composed of 6 tepals. These flowers produce globose fruits. The anthers (where the pollen is enclosed) are yellow.
Golden garlic's greyish-green foliage is deciduous. It is used in cooking. Each stem bears one to three lanceolate leaves, measuring 15 to 35mm (1in) in width and 20 to 30cm (8 to 12in) in length. They originate from the base and are shorter than the stem. The perennial itself reaches a height of 25cm (10in) at maturity.
Originating from southwest Europe (France, Spain), Allium moly is very hardy and can be planted anywhere in your garden to live for several years. It naturalises well in rocky areas or near large trees and in meadows. It is also found along borders of flower beds, in rock gardens, and even in walls. It can be grown in groups or as a solitary plant. It is suitable for container gardening and can enhance your balconies and patios. The beautiful star-shaped flowers are ideal to create stunning bouquets, even with dried blooms.

Planting and care
Allium moly is easy to grow. It does not tolerate extreme cold, but prefers warm conditions in the garden in a warm climate. Ideally, plant it in late October, 10cm (4in) deep with a spacing of 15 to 20cm (6 to 8in) between bulbs. Place it in rich, light, moist or dry and well-drained soil. Keep the soil dry throughout the summer resting period. It dislikes humidity. If the soil is not sandy, place it in a rockery or remove the bulbs in July to replant them in September. Cut off the faded flowers at their base, leaving the stem, and remove the foliage once it has turned yellow. Be aware of onion flies, powdery mildew, and white rot.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
