Interestingly, they are only in bloom at the moment. I had forgotten about them a bit, and what a surprise to see them flowering in the autumn. Perhaps it is due to the extreme drought this summer?

Description
Allium neapolitanum, also known as Neapolitan garlic, is a lovely medium-sized species that bears beautiful, bright umbels of pure white flowers.
This small bulbous perennial, 45 to 50cm (18 to 20in) tall, with a smooth, thick, trigonous stem, has deciduous, linear, flat, soft green leaves, 2 to 3cm (1in) wide. From late May to early June, it produces small umbels filled with open cup-shaped, pure white flowers.
Allium neapolitanum is a pioneering plant that spontaneously grows on slopes and abandoned ground in about half of southern Mediterranean Europe. This garlic tolerates all poor, moist, and well-drained soils in warm locations. Avoid very wet soils in winter. Be careful, as it quickly spreads if it likes its environment. Pot cultivation is possible: use a light substrate composed of 1/3 sand, 1/3 compost, and 1/3 perlite.
Allium neapolitanum is perfect for filling sunny borders in a wild garden. Plant it alongside fescues, moss phlox, and aubrietas.

Planting and care
Plant Allium neapolitanum in autumn at a depth of 8 to 10cm (3 to 4in) in moist but well-drained soil in a warm location, spaced 15cm (6in) apart. Add sand to the planting hole to improve drainage. Avoid heavy soils. It can withstand harsh winters if water is not allowed to stagnate.

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).
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 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.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
