The Shades of Allium Bulb Collection contains 3 varieties of ornamental onion (allium) that bloom in late spring and last all the way into summer. Each spherical bloom is comprised of hundreds of simply, teeny flowers and will hold its perfect globe shape even after its color begins to fade. Allium are great at lending a sense of architecture and cohesion to beds, either scattered throughout the garden or planted with intentional repetition. Deer, rabbit and rodent resistant.
Our Shades of Allium Bulb Collection is roughly 3' x 3' if planted together and contains 45 plants:
1. 'Drumstick' Allium - 25 bulbs
2. 'Graceful' Allium- 10 bulbs
3. 'Purple Sensation' Allium - 10 bulbs
*Not all plants will be in bloom at the same time, as depicted on the illustration. Plants are subject to change due to availability. If we make substitutions, we feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the garden/collection design.
