Tell Me More...
There are three allium varieties in this collection, each chosen for their undeniable beauty. The first is Allium amplectens 'Graceful Beauty', which is hardy, perennial and with a two-week vase life. 'Graceful Beauty' displays her gracefulness by swaying in the early summer breeze. Such a lovely sight. The second variety is Allium cameleon. Allium cameleon produces 5cm flowers which are initially a dusty pink, before fading to white with pink veining upon maturation. Readily naturalises and forms bright and cheerful clumps. Your third variety is Allium oreophilum, a gorgeous small allium whose flowerheads are made up of bright pink starlets. The word 'orephilum' means 'Mountain Lover' which emphasises the robustness of this pretty allium. Grows almost everywhere including rockeries. Being bulbous perennials, alliums are easy to grow, form bright spheres in the early summer and have a magnetic attraction to the first bumble bees and butterflies of the summer. Grow in borders and containers to create a bejewelled garden in May and June every year.
