Hello, everyone! I'm a new member to this website and a rookie gardener, or as I like to call myself - "gardening dummy". I have learned quite a bit, but something is stumping me. When bulbs are listed as being size "#1", what does that mean? How deep are "#1" bulbs supposed to be planted? The specific plant I'm talking about is the Allium Flavum. Any help anyone can provide would be very greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Size #1 means the largest size for that plant. Not sure about Flavum but the rule I use when having to guess is, depth should be twice the diameter, 1 inch bulbs 2 deep , 2 inch bulb 4 inches deep, so on.
