Allium nigrum Flower Bulbs produce broad clusters of creamy-white star-shaped flowers with distinctive dark green centres, held on strong upright stems. Their pale blooms provide an elegant contrast to purple alliums and emerging perennials.

Supplied as a pack of 10 bulbs, plants reach around 70cm and flower from May to June. They are ideal for sunny borders, cutting and pollinator-friendly planting. 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.
