A wonderful selection of 100 outstanding Allium bulbs, these are sure to create an explosion of colour and provide spectacular displays for your garden, patio or decking.
The mix of varieties is ideal for all, seasoned growers and complete novices alike, as they are very tough and hardy to make them extremely easy to look after.
Beauty does not end when the blooms have, as the varieties of this collection can be used as standout cut flowers, to brighten up any mantelpiece or windowsill.
Alliums have developed an outstanding reputation as a perfect flower to attract buzzing wildlife to a garden, and are particularly loved by beneficial pollinators such as bees.
This collection features a combination of bulbs, including:
- 7 x Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ bulbs – enormous bright purple spherical flower heads stand tall on thin stems above deep-green leaves. Closely related to onions (but don’t eat them!) they are very tough, hardy, and are great for beginners.
- 6 x Allium ‘Christophii’ bulbs – giant lilac, almost solid, spheres of flowers stand majestically on long stems above deep green leaves.
- 7 x Allium ‘Siculum’ Nectaroscordum bulbs – an extraordinary close relation to the Allium family, Nectaroscordum siculum produces up to 30 hanging flowers from each bulb. Looks wonderful in borders but make sure to leave ample space around the bulbs to let them grow large number of flowers.
- 5 x Allium ‘Nigrum’ bulbs – white globe-shaped flower heads sit above broad, ornamental, blue-green leaves on these wonderful Alliums. They look simply stunning wherever planted.
- 25 x Allium ‘Moly’ bulbs – yellow sparkler flower heads provide a wild and natural look at the front of borders.
- 25 x Allium ‘Drumsticks’ bulbs – delicate small purple-tinged flowers on long, tall straight stems. Plant en-masse for maximum effect in pots or the garden.
- 25 x Allium ‘Neopolitanum’ bulbs – lovely white small sparkler flowers, sometimes tinged blush pink.
For maximum impact from minimal effort, plant this mix together! Supplied as a collection of 100 bulbs, ready to plant out in autumn. Growing to a height of approx. 1m.
Care Information
Planting advice for your Allium collection:
- Find a location where the soil drains well and where they will receive full sun.
- Plant Allium bulbs in early to mid-autumn in a sheltered site to prevent the top-heavy flower spikes from getting blown over.
- Dig over the soil and remove any weeds before planting.
- Water well after planting, saturating the soil around the bulbs. Once established, Alliums are drought tolerant.
- In borders, plant bulbs in early autumn at a depth of about four times the diameter of the bulbs.
- In containers, Alliums will do well in deep pots with a good general-purpose potting compost with a handful of horticultural grit added.
Aftercare advice for Alliums:
- After planting, feed with a general-purpose feed such as our Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser.
- Dried flower heads can be removed and made into indoor decorations or left on the plants to self-seed.
- Divide Alliums every three to four years or when the plants begin to look overcrowded and blooming decreases.
- Lift the bulbs with a garden fork or spade and pull the bulbs apart.
- Replant some in the original location and plant the remainder in a new location.
Pruning and trimming advice for Alliums:
- The leaves die down at flowering time, so it?s best to plant Alliums where this foliage is masked by that of other plants.
- Avoid removing them while still green, as they provide the bulbs with energy for the following season.
