globemaster allium seed heads

15 years ago

I was looking at allium heads now that they are dried uo and noticed that some of them have what appear to be seeds where the little pod used to be. Can anyone tell me if you can plant them and produce more allium? I would like some info on this please. If you can plant them when and how?

Thanks
