Description
12-18" tall, Allium Bulb Oreophilum has large magenta florets that form a lose flower head.
About the Alliums. The word, Allium, means 'onion' in Latin. Many Allium species are native to Iran, where many tulips also originate, and the edible Alliums have been cultivated and a staple of diets for over 10,000 years. Most bloom in late spring so they bridge the gap nicely between the tulip season and early summer bloom of peonies and poppies. Experienced gardeners plant these smaller Alliums in groups of several bulbs, set very close together. The foliage is not attractive for long, so it's important to plant them next to other perennials whose foliage will more or less cover the Allium's base.
Planting & Care
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.

pocket of stunners
"threw these in the dryest, brightest corner of the garden for science. had to keep them watered for a couple weeks just before they grew flower stalks. great bulb plant."
Nice small flowers
"I pit these in a rock garden area but should have planted them closer together in clumps for greater impact"
Would buy again
"USED IN SMALL FLOWER GARDEN"
Dainty little pink allium
"Great for front border"
Very pretty and hardy, but mine are blush pink in color
"The Allium I received are extremely hardy and very attractive with straight stems and globes of blush pink, not deep pink. They are in bloom right now at the end of June along with my Yarrow, Asiatic Lilies, and Daylilies. The combination is very nice."
