Product Description
Alliums, also known as ornamental onions, are grown for their showy flower heads, which come in wide range of sizes and shades of blue, purple, pink, white and yellow. Even when the plants die back, the dried flower heads look attractive in the garden, or they can be cut to be used as part of an indoor display. These eye-catching and dainty mixed Alliums flower from May to June. They are great choice for rockeries or the front of the border, or patio pots. Height 30cm. 5cm+ Bulbs supplied. We guarantee our great value mixture packs contain a comprehensive blend of variety and colours. By definition the components of the mixtures are not labelled/named on arrival.

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.
