Description
This mixture creates a stunning combination for you. The classic purple Allium globes mixed with white. The flowers bloom at 24 to 36", and the globes are between 4 and 6" in diameter.
About the Alliums. Every family has its beauties. And yes, these are the best-looking members of the family of Allium, which includes onions, leeks and chives. (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.
The beauty of the small lavender flowerheads of chives have always been a decorative highlight in herb gardens. But in recent years, gardeners have become fascinated with the larger Alliums, particular the giants. As always, the Dutch hybridizers took them into their stocks, and now we have a whole group of beautiful new flowering onions for gardens. 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 giant 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. This way, the wonderful flower stalks rise up and tower over the other flowers for a wonderful period of bloom.

"These were scattered in my large flower beds. My husband and children have all commented that they were beautiful and bold. They came up early and were a standout this spring!"
Stunning. Can't wait for them to return next year
"Planted these in the fall in a spot that doesn't have irrigation and mostly shade. I watered them by hand occasionally as they're bulbs. They came up beautifully! What a fun surprise. Giant flowers. The bees loved them."
Pretty but few really grew
"I planted these in a few places in my gardens . Nice soul, nice sun. The few that bloomed looked nice. But others came up and then drooped on their stems before fully blooming. Others did not appear. Not quite sure what was going on but I am so disappointed."
Stunning
"Love these!"
Everything survived but all I got were purple. . .

So good I want to buy more!
"I have a weekend garden in the middle of the woods in the Catskills at our campsite. I plant what I like and hope for the best as I have no control over the critters that get into the garden when I'm not around. These flowers are incredible! Nobody bothers them and they were stunning! Huge blooms with lovely color!!!! I planted the bulbs and let them do their thing!"
They are bloomint now and beautiful. Deer have stayed away.
"Used in rock garden"
Deer-resistant Alliums
"Bought in hopes of preventing deer damage. Planted tulips, crocus, daffodils among the allium bulbs and so far it works. Will set annuals in after bulb foliage fades and hope the allium scent deters critters."

"Great size and color."
