Allium Mix

This mix showcases everything alliums have to offer, from the tall, majestic globes of Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ to the little golden starbursts of Allium moly. Bridging the gap between the end of spring bulbs and the beginning of the main summer display, they add colour, texture and architecture to borders plus a feast of early nectar for pollinators. Easy to grow, once planted they will virtually take care of themselves.

Allium Mix contains the following six varieties:

• Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ (5 bulbs. Bulb size: 9/10cm) - The architectural blooms of these violet-purple alliums are sure to make a statement in your summer borders. Upright stems carry globes of starry flowers that measure up to 8cm (3”) across. Flowering only once in a season, the blooms of Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ are followed by skeletal seedheads for a spectacular autumn display. Height: 90cm (36"). Spread: 10cm (4").
• Allium caeruleum (10 bulbs. Bulb size: 4/5cm) - Bright blue globes of starry flowers are carried on stiff upright stems in early summer. Punctuating sunny borders with architecture and a bright splash of colour, Allium caeruleum is easy to grow and makes a great cut flower too! Height: 60cm (24"). Spread: 8cm (3").
• Allium ‘Graceful Beauty’ (10 bulbs. Bulb size: 6/+cm) - Effortlessly tasteful - its large, starry blooms forming spherical flower heads in spring. Each gleaming white flower is blushed with palest pink providing a lovely contrast with its violet stamens. This hardy bulb is best massed together at the front of borders for a dramatic display or packed into patio containers in a prominent position. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 10cm (4").
• Allium ampeloprasum 15 bulbs. Bulb size: 6/+cm) - Globe-shaped heads of tightly packed, very pale mauve, almost white flowers on tall, strong stems that make a great vertical accent in cottage garden borders. Blooming in June and July, Allium ampeloprasum is also great for cut flower gardens and naturalising in meadows. The striking flowerheads are great for drying for an even longer-lasting arrangement! Height: 100cm (39"). Spread: 20cm (8").
• Allium cowanii (15 bulbs. Bulb size: 4/5cm) - Clusters of pure white, starry, long-lasting flowers that are perfect for cutting. Blooming in May and June, ornamental onion looks lovely planted in drifts at the front of a border or makes a great addition to mixed containers. Bees, butterflies and other pollinators are attracted to the nectar-rich, sweetly scented flowers. Height: 40cm (16"). Spread: 10cm (4").
• Allium moly (45 bulbs. Bulb size: 3/4cm) - A ray of sunshine! This vigorous and cheerful little allium produces dense clusters of bright yellow, star-shaped flowers from late spring onwards – sure to brighten up any corner of the garden.
