I remember seeing sarah discussing this trip a few years ago and we have saved the heads each year now and boy do they look good at Christmas :D

Can't wait to try this! Love that they get repurposed at Christmas time - so magical! Thank you for your video.

Wow! So glad I planted alliums in the fall. I can use them in arrangements at Christmas, as well.

Great idea. Love it when the alliums are dried, and I have 2 heads in an arrangement on my windowsill all year 'round. Just picked the latest Purple Sensation and enjoy seeing it change......

I just found your channel when I Googled "drying alliums". What a lovely garden! Thank you for the information. The alliums are so pretty that I want to preserve and use them. I am in Virginia, USA.

What a lovely idea, thank you for sharing it. I will definitely try mine as Christmas decorations later in the year.

I absolutely love alliums. Leek blooms are quite lovely. They last quite a long time in flower arrangements when fresh and look quite lovely when dried as well. Now I will try spraying them. Thank you so much for such a great idea.
