I was fortunate to receive some Allium amplectens and Triteleia laxa bulbs in last fall's exchange. Since I have never grown these before, I set them out in a raised bed - rather than in the garden - just to see what they would do. The Triteleia have flowered, and some are waning, with the petals turning brown and closing up. I think there may be seeds developing. I would like to have both the Allium and the Triteleia in the garden next year. Should I wait until after they set seed and are fairly dormant before moving them out of the raised bed, or should I leave them in the bed until later (fall?) and move them then? Also, I'm guessing that they will be going dormant and should not need water, or maybe just a sprinkle every couple of weeks during the summer. (I'm in USDA zone 10a and Sunset zone 19.) I'm really trying to find out how to manage these kinds of bulbs through the summer. Thanks in advance for whatever help might be provided.
