Allium is one of the most interesting looking spring blooming flower bulbs that is often forgotten.
There are so many spectacular varieties with different heights, colors, bloom sizes, bloom times, etc. that it is hard to pick a favorite!
What makes allium so special? The list goes on and on!
Allium are VERY EASY to grow and care for! They are drought tolerant, deer and critter resistant, and will grow well just about anywhere – containers, borders, rock gardens and mass plantings. Click here for full planting information.
Allium are wonderful for adding vertical interest to the garden.
Their unusual blooms combined with their height also provide winter interest even after blooming.
Bees and butterflies LOVE allium blooms and are wonderful for attracting pollinators to the garden!
My absolute favorite thing about allium is that they make STUNNING cut flower arrangements!
Don't miss out on these spring blooming beauties! Plant allium this fall!
