Alliums
Astonishing in size and colour, Alliums fill the gaps in the late spring border
Alliums are a great transition flower, providing drama in the late spring and early summer garden. Planted in groups, they add drama, height and an airy lightness to a mixed perennial border of Iris, Peonies, Bleeding Heart, Asiatic Lilies, Daylilies and Hosta. The shorter Alliums are ideal clustered in rock gardens or at the front of a border. All Alliums give weeks of bloom.
Fresh cut or dried, they are a flower arranger's delight. They're easy to grow as long as they have very well-drained soil and plenty of sun. They multiply and increase in beauty each year, providing more stems and blooms for years to come.
You'll also be glad to know that critters that dig up and eat other bulbs in your garden won't go near them!
