Product Description
A lovely tall variety with clusters of small, vivid cornflower blue flower heads. True blue is a tricky colour to find in nature so Allium azureum (caeruleum) is a rare treat for the garden. For a super eye grabbing display plant at the back of the border alongside bright yellow lilies of a similar height such as Fata Morgana or the slightly taller Lily Yellow County. Height 60cm. Flowers June-July. 4cm+ bulbs supplied.
For a full list of varieties, please refer to our allium bulbs page.

Growing at a glance…
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil at approx 10cm apart and at a depth of roughly 3-4 times the size of the bulb. Larger bulbs should be spaced 20cm apart. Leave untouched for a number of years until the bulbs have multiplied and divide if necessary. Smaller alliums can be grown in containers, but ensure it's large enough to space the bulbs an appropriate distance apart.
For further information on growing and caring for alliums, please refer to our Allium Growing Guide.
