Perfect Border Allium Collection
- Good for Cutting
- Loved by Garden Birds
- Loved by Pollinators
- Naturalises
There are certain alliums which fit perfectly and hugely enhance a border — their foliage is finer and their scale and drama just right to mix in, but not take over other things
- 15 bulbs of Allium cristophii
- 5 bulbs of Allium 'Summer Drummer'
- 5 bulbs of Allium macleanii 'His Excellency'
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.
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
