Top size bulbs for bigger flowers
Easy to grow
The best of all alliums for naturalising in grass, robust, long-season flowering, impressive yet also with simple, wild flower looks
This is ideal for giving height and scale to late spring/early summer white-themed planting schemes too.
Allium petals are edible, you can scatter them on salads. We use the more delicate types like cowanii and unifolium most often at Perch Hill.
