Description

Allium Mix Spring Bulb Collection

A coordinated mix of Purple Sensation and Christophii alliums for contrasting purple globes from late spring into early summer. Premium 12/14cm bulbs for sunny, freely drained borders and pollinator-friendly planting.

Planting advice

Plant during September–November. For the most natural display, loosen the soil thoroughly and distribute the bulbs in informal groups rather than straight rows. Where the collection contains different bulb types, follow the stated depth range and place the larger bulbs deepest, with smaller bulbs or corms nearer the surface. Choose full sun in moderately fertile, freely drained soil. Water after planting if the soil is dry, but avoid ground that remains waterlogged.

Aftercare

Allow the foliage to die back naturally. Allium leaves often begin to fade as the flowers open, so planting among emerging perennials helps disguise them. Leave the seedheads standing for structure or cut them for dried arrangements.
