Description
The Purple Galaxy Allium Collection includes a total of 30 bulbs featuring five showy varieties that draw pollinators to the garden from near and far. The mix includes varieties reaching several different heights and sizes for a dynamic display of vibrant blooms. Globemaster and Ambassador Alliums steal the show with giant six- to ten-inch blooms, while snow-white Mount Everest Allium adds cool white to the mix. Plant Purple Sensation and Violet Beauty in groups for mass appeal. Allium flower clusters stand atop long, straight stems that look stunning in a vase. Cut stems of smaller varieties when 50% of the florets have opened. Use a sharp tool to avoid damaging stems. Cut larger varieties once 100% of individual bloom shave opened. Allium flower heads are excellent for dried arrangements. Plant in sunny, mixed beds, rock gardens, or containers in well-drained soils. Deer-resistant.
