Description
This Allium produces long stems with stunning star-shaped, violet-purple flowers in a bowl shaped flower head. These perennials will come back year after year if cared for. They thrive when grown in containers but are also suitable to flower beds, urban gardens and gravel gardens. This variety comes from the crossing of Allium Atropurpureum and Allium Schubertii. The flowers last a long time (maybe twice as much as other alliums). They require no pruning and are generally pest free.
Best planting time:
Ideally plant between September and December. The bulbs prefer a period of cold dormancy before they grow in spring. You can still plant them in spring but you will get a less spectacular bloom.
Planting conditions:
Alliums require full sun for optimal growth. They can grow in most soils as long as it is moist and well draining. If you have a clay based soil add some horticultural grit to help with drainage.
