Allium atropurpureum Bulbs – Pack of 6
Add rich, dramatic colour and architectural interest to your garden with Allium atropurpureum bulbs. This striking ornamental allium produces dense, rounded flower heads in a deep wine-purple shade, carried on tall, upright stems in late spring and early summer.
Perfect for sunny borders, gravel gardens and mixed perennial planting schemes, Allium atropurpureum looks particularly impressive planted in groups, where its distinctive flower heads can rise through lower-growing plants. The strong stems and long-lasting blooms also make these ornamental allium bulbs an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements.
Flowering around June, alliums provide an attractive transition between spring bulbs and summer perennials. Their nectar-rich flowers are also popular with bees and other pollinating insects, making them a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly planting.
