Allium atropurpureum is an heirloom variety with deep purple-red flowers. Blooming late spring to early summer on sturdy 2-to-3-foot stems, each half-globe blossom holds dozens of star-shaped florets buzzing with bees and butterflies. Seed heads remain in the garden, adding interest long after flowers fade. An excellent cut flower, both fresh and dried. Bulbs will multiply and spread over time.
Growing Alliums: The Allium family includes onions, leeks, and chives, but the ornamental varieties have become increasingly popular with gardeners thanks to their unique beauty. Globe-shaped flower clusters float above thin, elegant flower stalks. Allium bulbs are planted in fall, and bloom in late spring, bridging the gap nicely between spring-blooming flower bulbs and early summer perennials, such as Peonies, Poppies, and Salvia. For a pop of color and texture, plant Alliums in groups, or plant among perennials. Within their hardiness zones, they will return year after year and may naturalize and spread over time. Leave spent flowers standing to add interesting texture to your garden through the fall and winter.

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.

Great addition to allium collection (great with poppies!)
"I've never met an allium I didn't like, but I was still not sure how this one would look as there were few photos. I love it! I planted with some mature poppies, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The shortest one are 18" and the tallest is 36" (most are somewhere between 20" and 28"). I love the dark purple--it's unlike other alliums available to average gardeners. Get yourself some of these!"

Bee magnet
"Pure honeybee magnet in the early season. The color is alluring planted next to sage and lilies here, speckled in the milkweed forest. Quite a fan!"
— RaRa (5/5)
