This wonderful allium always features strongly at the Chelsea Flower Show, and is one of the earliest to flower. Clusters of star-like, violet flowers approximately 10cm in diameter appear as early as April. A great choice for mixing with other spring-flowering bulbs such as tulips.
Alliums
Alliums, or ornamental onions, are one of the most popular bulbs around and have become one of the main features in the late spring garden, bringing their colour and reliability to waking borders. The emerging spring foliage is a feature in its own right, and is followed by striking flowers. Continuing on to add impact to the early summer garden, the flowers can also be dried for winter decoration. They come in a wonderful range of colours and styles plus they don't need pampering. Just give them a place in full sun and average, free draining soil. Top grade bulbs supplied.
