Globemasters do not grow in the hot, dry, desert region here. Those catalog companies will say anything to get you to buy! I am in zone 9a and have had no luck with these. Other alliums have done well. The most this can grow is about 6 leaves in mid-spring, a stick and bud comes out, then it gets too hot to bloom as the globemasters are known for their large spheres. I have never seen this grown successfully anywhere here in Henderson or Las Vegas, NV. But have seen it do very well in Southern California.

These tall flowers don't have to be staked, but the leaves are unattractive. Be sure to plant them among other plants that have plenty of nice foliage.
