Alliums Page 2

Selected, dark-flowered form of this species, with deep purple flowerheads. Essential mid-border subject, wonderful planted in generous drifts and affordable enough to allow this without breaking the bank. It is also tolerant of a little shade and heavier soils, so is the allium we recommend for gardeners with less than perfect conditions for other varieties. Ht. 30" (75cm). Bulb size 12/14 cm Pack...

Neat heads of maroon flowers, tipped cream, held aloft on tall stems - a very attractive newcomer, which has been in great demand since its introduction a few years ago. Ht. to 3' (90cm). Bulb size 10+ cm Pack of 3 bulbs for £6.00 Pack of 10 bulbs for £17.00 

Distinctive and unique in its appearance, the unequal length of the flower stalks of this variety give the impression of an exploding firework. The open structure of the flowers mean that they persist well in the border long after the colour has faded. Eventually, they can be harvested as dried flowers (some gardeners spray them silver or gold and use them as Christmas decorations). Only top-sized...

A great novelty, the small flowers have green spokes of purple florets. Much loved by flower arrangers.  Ht. 18" (45cm). Bulb size 5+ cm   Pack of 15 for £5.00 Pack of 50 for £15.00

The white flowers of this variety are quite unique, with each floret sporting a distinctive maroon 'eye'. This allium has been established in our borders for some years now and it is always the first of the alliums to show foliage (often in early winter) although the flowering time is early summer. The seedheads are attractive left to stand in the border after flowering. Just give it a sunny site...

An exciting, recent cross between a.schubertii and a.atropurpureum, resulting in darker violet 'firework' flowers on a longer stem. Give the bulbs a warm, sheltered spot with good drainage and they will persist well. Ht. 24" (60cm) Bulb size 12+ cm (Larger bulb size  & lower price for 2024) Pack of  5 bulbs for £4.00 Pack of 10 bulbs for £7.00

We first grew this stunning allium back in 2006, when it was a new introduction and not widely available. We were impressed with it then and with its subsequent flowering over the years. More recently, it was part of the Wisley allium trial, impressing the judges sufficiently to gain an RHS Award of Garden Merit. The flowers are deep violet and of great size (6"/15cm or more in diameter) and in good...

This pretty variety of allium stipitatum has so much going for it.  The flowers are a lovely mid-lilac and pleasantly scented and the bulbs themselves are affordable enough to allow for generous planting.  Ideal also for the cutting garden.
