Allium Ambassador is one of the grandest Alliums you can find, growing to reach a stately 4 ft. tall and developing enormous 6-8” globes of dark purple flower heads. Blooming in early- to mid-summer, its towering blooms last for weeks. Fragrant and deer resistant.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
(36-48" tall) Ambassador Allium (also known as Ornamental Onion) has huge, 6-8” globe-shaped blooms, made up of hundreds of star-shaped violet flowers. Pollinators will love Ambassador Allium just as much as you do. To enjoy a succession of giant Alliums, plant Globemaster Allium Globemaster, Ambassador Allium, and Gladiator Allium. Plant in groups or drifts for the most visual impact; they pair well with Oriental Poppies, Peonies, Bearded Iris and other late spring bloomers. Ambassador Allium prefers well-drained soil and full sun. Deer resistant. Plant bulbs 6-8” deep. (Allium Ambassador)
