Allium Ultimate Mix

An exciting mix of alliums in varying heights and forms to add their sculptural intrigue to pots, borders and open ground throughout May to July-August. Drumstick flowers in open or tightly held clusters emerge in pinks, whites and purples to entice in bees and other pollinators whilst adding gentle, waving movement to your planting. A valuable addition to either traditional or modern planting schemes, offering hundreds of small, perfectly formed flowers which come together to create fascinating, almost spherical, globes of colour. Once known for their medical, culinary, and aphrodisiac qualities, the foliage emits a slightly oniony fragrance when crushed. Nowadays alliums are a favourite in RHS Show Gardens, and we think that no garden should be without at least a few. The Allium Ultimate Mix offer the perfect way to introduce some of these fascinating blooms, with varieties delivered in separate packs so you can pick the perfect spot for each. Plant in well-drained soil which benefits from full sun. Excellent as cut flowers and happy in ever poor soils. Hardy bulbous perennials with a height ranging from 10cm to 1 metre. Ultimate mix comprises sphaerocephalon, oreophilum, cowanii, nigrum, Purple Sensation and cristophii.
