Allium atropurpureum & nigrum Bulb Collection

Allium atropurpureum & nigrum Bulb Collection creates a striking contrast of rich purple-crimson and creamy white in borders and cutting gardens. Supplied as 20 bulbs, with 10 of each variety, both alliums are similar in height and flower together for a coordinated early-summer display.

• Allium atropurpureum
  Rich purple-crimson flower heads are carried on sturdy stems for a bold and sophisticated display.
• Allium nigrum
  Clusters of creamy-white star-shaped flowers with dark green centres provide a bright contrast and are excellent for cutting.

Plants reach approximately 50-90cm (20-36in) and flower from May to June. Plant from September to November in free-draining soil in full sun. The flowers are highly attractive to pollinators and the mature heads can also be dried for arrangements.

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.

About our Bulbs
We work very closely with our growers to ensure we offer the very best, top sized bulbs which will provide you with a glorious autumn show. 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.
