Allium, also known as ornamental leeks, is one of the most impressive spring and early summer flowers in the garden. Its characteristic, mostly spherical inflorescences float elegantly above the foliage and attract everyone's attention with their special shape and intense colors.
All varieties - whether large, flowery, finely structured, bicolored or natural - have one thing in common: they set clear architectural accents and look exceptionally decorative both individually and in groups. They look particularly beautiful in perennial beds, gravel gardens or in modern, structured plantings.
Allium is robust, easy to care for and very popular with bees and other insects. By running wild or self-seeding, the ornamental alliums often reappear reliably for years. The strong premium bulbs in the size 10-12 cm ensure reliable sprouting and impressive flowers in 15 pieces per pack.
