Overview

Adding colour and structure to late spring and early summer border displays, these sought-after perennials are valuable for cutting, and can be used in both fresh or dried arrangements.

Their spectacular flowerheads offer a long season of interest, and are attractive to a wide rangeof beneficial insects including bees.

Care guide

Allium bulbs are easy to grow in a sunny spot with freely drained soil, or a good quality potting compost. Ideally they should be planted in September or October, but could also be planted in early November in milder regions.

While keeping the size of the flowerhead in mind and avoiding overcrowding, dig holes roughly three times as deep as the diameter of the bulb and place them at the base, pointy side up before gently infilling and watering to settle them in.

In early spring, as growth begins, apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser, and allow the plants to die back naturally and completely before tidying away.

What's included

In each collection you will receive the following:

  • 20 × Allium hollandicum 'Purple Sensation': Large rounded flowerheads are crowded with a mass of purple, star-shaped flowers, each with a green bead-like eye. An impressive border perennial. Grows to 1m.

  • 5 × Allium hollandicum: Slender mid-green leaves start to die back as the densely packed umbels of purplish-pink flowers appear. Well suited to gravel or prairie-style planting schemes. Grows to 1m.

  • 3 × Allium stipitatum 'Mount Everest': Tightly packed spherical umbels of 50 or more white, star-shaped flowers appear on upright, ribbed stems in early summer, above the strap-shaped foliage, which starts to die back before the flowers emerge. Grows to 1.2m.

    • Warning

    Pets: TOXIC if eaten; Humans: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
