Allium moly Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: An easily grown plant[203], preferring a sunny position in a light well-drained soil[1, 90]. Established plants are fairly drought tolerant[190]. The bulbs should be planted fairly deeply[1]. The dormant bulbs are fairly hardy and will withstand soil temperatures down to at least -10°c[214]. There are some named forms selected for their ornamental value[203]. The flowers are softly scented[245]. Some forms of this species, especially A. moly bulbiferum[203], produce bulbils in the flowering head[42] and can be invasive[203]. The species type is sometimes considered to be invasive, though it has not proved so with most people[203]. It is useful for naturalising between shrubs and grows well at the base of a beech hedge in a wet garden[203]. Grows well with most plants, especially roses, carrots, beet and chamomile, but it inhibits the growth of legumes[18, 20, 54]. It is a bad companion for alfalfa, each species negatively affecting the other[201]. Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer[233].
