There are no better value alliums than these two – one in deep, rich purple, the other a more smoky mauve
Alliums are incredibly long-lived and flower for ages. The ones at Perch Hill have been coming back year after year for the last 12 years. I love them for adding late spring and summer pizzazz – strong colour and shape to the border, and they are excellent for cutting. This mix flowers from mid May to June. Watch Sarah explain why she loves this brilliant and perennial allium pairing in this video.
This collection includes 15 or 30 bulbs each of:- Allium hollandicum 'Purple Sensation'
- Allium aflatunense (hollandicum)
This can be gift wrapped in our exclusive hessian sack, with ribbon and a Sarah Raven gift card. You will be able to add this to your basket once you begin the checkout process. To add a gift message to your order, simply fill out the details at the delivery stage of the checkout.

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.
