Purple is royal colour, signifying dignity, tradition, and success. Many pollinating species show a marked preference for purple flowers, so purple is an important colour for your garden. The three allium varieties in this collection are an intense true purple, look spectacular in drifts due to their height, and all grow to 100cm tall allowing the flowers to hover above other plants. Allium hollandicum 'Purple Sensation' - one of the most popular alliums because of its strong purple colour. Allium atropurpureum - a fashionable and trendy allium to grow, one of the first alliums to flower and a two-week vase life. Allium sphaerocephalon - flowers originally green, then becomes bi-colour green and purple, before maturing as purple; has long elegant thin stems. 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.
