BOISE, Idaho — Do you like the savory flavor of onion and garlic in your food? Most people do, but did you know they are all part of the same plant family? They are known as alliums and they are east to grow in gardens at home. Alliums are popular both in flower beds and vegetable gardens. While many alliums are grown as vegetables, there are other kinds of alliums that make spectacular flowering plants. You have probably seen alliums in floral displays and perennial gardens. Alliums produce beautiful globe-shaped flower heads on tall stalks that are real eye-catchers, blooming in colors from purple, to pink, to blue and white.
