Plant description

These popular perennials are highly prized for their spectacular flowerheads, which will add colour and structure to the late spring and early summer border. Most offer a long period of interest and will help attract beneficial insects including bees. They are also valuable for cutting and adding to fresh or dried arrangements. Originating from dry, mountainous regions, they are easy to grow and will thrive in sunny spots with reasonably fertile, well-drained soil.

  • 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
  • 5 × Allium stipitatum 'Violet Beauty' Elegant, slender stems are topped with somewhat flat-bottomed, dome-shaped clusters of violet flowers, which mix easily with most shades of blue and purple. Grows to 1m
