A gift boxed collection of the three alliums I pick most. I love the starry openness of 'Purple Rain', the beautiful and long-lasting pink-mauve flowers of unifolium and of course the ever stalwart, 'Purple Sensation', impossible to beat in flower or seed head. These are my desert-island three.
Unfortunately Allium unifolium is no longer available as part of this collection. We have replaced it with Allium roseum, which is very similar. This collection includes:Genus | Allium |
Type | Deciduous |
Common Name | Ornamental onion |
Border Position | Front, Middle |
Bulb Size | mixed |
Soil Type | Fertile |
Scent | Unscented |
Site | Full Sun |
Moisture | Well-drained |
Height | 30-90cm (12-36in) |
Spacing | Plant 10-15cm (4-6in) deep, 10-15cm (4-6in) apart. |
Care Tips | Remember these are very perennial so plant them somewhere permanent. Removing the tatty foliage doesn't appear to affect the bulbs. Add grit on heavy soils |
Flowering | May |
Vase Life | Add a drop of bleach to the water to minimise the oniony smell or change the water regularly. They will look good for up to 2 weeks without rearranging. |
