Alliums do beautifully with little or no fertilization. Allium caeruleum is a beautiful blue, allium christophii a stunning amethyst, allium atropurpureum is pink, allium ramosum is white. I have them all. None of these need fertilizer. Better yet, they bloom in different seasons. My allium ramosum is just starting to bloom. Some like caeruleum, have spectacular seedheads. If you don't deadhead them, a lot more will be produced, particularly after 2-3 years.

Here is what allium ramosum looks like.
