| I'm having a hard time remembering what these are. The tips have little brown coverings on them and look like they may bloom at any time. They are awfully lanky and I would like to trim them back. When would the appropriate time be and will they still bloom? Thanks! |

| They're in the onion family, possibly wild onion or allium flower bulbs planted years ago. You can't cut them back without ruining them. That's the flower coming up. |

| allium sphaerocephalum - aka drumstick allium. They will seed about and spread so you might want to dig a spadeful out this autumn. Nice maroon and green flowerheads which assort well with most perennials. |
