Allium atropurpureum Flower Bulbs produce rich purple-crimson flower heads on strong upright stems, creating a bold early-summer display among perennials and grasses.

Supplied as a pack of 10 bulbs, plants reach around 60-90cm (2-3ft) and flower from May to June. They are excellent for sunny borders and cutting, and the flowers are highly attractive to pollinators. Plant from September to November in free-draining soil in full sun.

Bulb size: 10/12
Bulb sizes are measured by circumference in centimetres. A 10/12 bulb measures approximately 10-12cm around. Larger bulbs generally contain more stored energy, helping to support strong growth and an impressive flowering display.

All of the bulbs we offer have been trialled and tested, either on our own trials ground, here in Suffolk, or on those of our growers, who we work with to ensure we offer the best range for British gardens.
