100 flower seeds Purple Allium, easy to grow #IEB34

Alliums look spectacular grouped in a pot, or in a sunny border, dotted in groups among ornamental grasses, or as part of a Mediterranean scheme. The plants can be allowed to self-seed to make impressive clumps. Plant en masse to be sure to have cut flowers, they flower earlier in full sun an a little later in shade. The flower stalks dry well and can be used in arrangements or they can be left outside to provide winter interest as they look good covered in frost.

The flowers last a long time and help fill that awkward gap between the later spring bulbs and the perennials. By the time the papery tunic on the alliums has broken, the garden is in full swing and caught between spring and summer
