Bulbs: allium question, 1 by Janiejoy

Hi,

We are new to this house and have purple globe allium (have no idea what the name of it is) in the flower box in front of our house made of brick, a very 60's thing...

They are spent now and turning brown and falling over... can I cut them back so the ugly foliage and brown heads no longer overhang the edges of the box... or?

I'd like to plant something else perennial that blooms in late summer to take over the box where they have been planted ... (suggestions?)

Can I move them out of this box to another location where they won't become such an eyesore as you walk up to our front door after they are done blooming?

Thanks for your help...
Janie
