Organic purple ornamental onion

The Allium 'Purple Sensation' is also known as Dutch garlic and has medium-sized purple flowers. They bloom late in the spring; therefore they can be combined well with colored perennials. The bees love them and they smell wonderful! Plant them in groups in the garden or in pots for a wow effect. They will provide years of fun!

It grows to a height of about 80 centimeters and blooms for about 4 weeks in May and June. The purple umbellifer, which is almost round like a ball, has a flower diameter of approximately 15 centimeters wide and consists of approximately 300 star-shaped flowers. It looks a lot like the white Allium 'Mount Everest', which is why they can be combined well with each other.

Tip: Suitable for drying.

This product contains 3 XL flower bulbs with a bulb circumference of 14 cm or more (size 14+).

How, where and when do I plant Allium 'Purple Sensation' flower bulbs?

A flower bulb needs a cold period. Therefore, plant it in the ground in the autumn from October to January. The planting depth is 2 to 3 times the flower bulb itself and the planting distance is 2 to 3 times the width of the flower bulb itself. Plant it in full sun or partial shade in a nutrient-rich, water-permeable, preferably calcareous, sandy soil.

Care

Leave the flower heads in place if you would like them to form seed. Once the foliage has died back, you can lift the bulbs and separate any offsets. Store the bulbs in a dry, well-ventilated place until October, then replant them. You can also leave the bulbs in the ground, where they can naturalise and return each year in suitable conditions.

Provide organic nutrition immediately when planting and in the spring before flowering for optimal results!
