Ornamental Onions

From £5.99

Product Description

Allium bularicum are beautiful broad bell shaped greenish white flowers with broadly striped dark brown-red on outside. Borne in large loose umbels of 20-30 flowers this charming allium is a fantastic addition to the summer border, added to patio pot containers or even as a talking point within the home as part of a cut flower display. Its stems are sturdy but try planting hardy geraniums at the base for some added support. Preferring direct or partial sunlight, these unique flowers reach a height of 90cm. Noted by the RHS as a plant for pollinators. Flowers during the summer month of June. 8-10cm bulbs supplied.

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.
