For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.What sort of Alliums are they? The only alliums in my garden are Allium Triquetrum, otherwise known as Three-cornered Leek, Wild Garlic etc., and it grows like a weed, and would take over the garden (and probaly the County) if we let it. Fortunately, the whole plant is edible, we use it like shallots, spring onions, chives etc., and the pretty flowers are nice on salads. You'll gather I am no Monty Don.
Just leave them... walk away and leave them... then next year and especially the year following you'll be able to remind yourself that you should have never planted m inthe first place.
For what little joy they provide with a short blooming season you pay the price in attempting to keep the little self-seeders corralled. They'll soon enough make themselves at home in every little crook and nanny they can find and they can find them all...
