200 alliums Save £5.99!
allium collection
This is a great collection if you have lots of gaps in the border - or just love alliums! It contains generous numbers of some of our favourites so will put on a great display in early summer.
How to care for 200 alliums:
Plant bulbs 15cm deep and 15cm apart to enjoy the full effect of the flowers. Avoid excessive moisture from late summer when they become dormant. Over-large clumps can be lifted and divided in autumn or spring.
What's included:
In each collection you will receive the following bulbs:
- 50 × Allium moly: This vigorous, golden garlic is perfect for planting in a light woodland area. It produces clusters of loosely-packed, star-shaped, brilliant yellow flowers, which look spectacular next to the drooping heads of purple snakes head fritillaries. Grows to 25cm.
- 75 × Allium neapolitanum Cowanii Group: Open clusters of pure white flowers appear in late spring or early summer, creating a soft, lacy effect. The flowers last for ages after being cut and the bees will find them very attractive. Grows to 40cm.
- 25 × Allium roseum: A variable plant, which produces very pretty, open clusters of pale to rich pink flowers above the strap-shaped foliage. Flowering in late spring or early summer, it is useful for bridging the gap, creating pockets of colour when there is often a bit of a lull in the garden. Grows to 65cm.
- 25 × Allium sphaerocephalon: Small, egg-shaped, claret-coloured flowerheads appear like drumsticks on tall, slender stems above slender mid-green leaves in mid to late summer. These diminutive claret flowers look great emerging from a screen of foliage, or against a backdrop of ornamental grasses. Grows to 90cm.
- 25 × Allium unifolium: The pinky-purple, bell-shaped flowers on this allium are quite papery, which means they last longer than many of the other varieties. They emerge in clusters of up to 20 at a time, so make a great plant for an alpine bed or to add colour to the front of a mixed border. Grows to 30cm.
