Product Description
Massive silvery lilac flower heads on sturdy stems. Probably the biggest ever flower heads in the Allium family. Their curled green leaves wither before the giant flowers appear in early summer so we recommend accompanying them with colourful low-growing perennials to provide filling foliage over the base areas. Perfect for the garden border but great as part of a cut flower display. Height 90-120cm. Flowering May-June.

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.
