It’s also called 'round-headed garlic' because its oval flowers resemble a bullet. It blooms from late spring into summer, and even before the buds open, the plant has high ornamental value. The flowering period lasts about 4 weeks, and even as a cut flower in a vase, it blooms for a long time. As the flower emerges from its sheath, it is initially green, then gradually turns magenta from the top downward as it matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrumsticks have strong, upright flower stems reaching 70 to 100 centimeters tall, with 2 to 6 grass-green, hollow, tubular leaves at the base, each about 1 to 4 millimeters in diameter. These leaves dry out quickly, even during flowering, which means the plant takes up little space and combines beautifully with other ornamental onions or early-flowering perennials. The flower head is approximately 5 to 7 centimeters in diameter. Unlike other alliums, the individual florets are bell-shaped rather than star-shaped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDrumsticks for Bees\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stamens protrude far from the petals, making them highly accessible to pollinators.

Plant them in the ground between October and January. The planting depth should be 2 to 3 times the bulb’s height, and the spacing 2 to 3 times the bulb’s width. They thrive best in full sun or partial shade in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil, preferably calcareous sandy soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare for Drumsticks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the flowers to fully bloom and form seeds to encourage natural self-seeding. Bulbs can be lifted in July for propagation. Dry them and store them in a warm place until replanting in October. Drumsticks naturalize well and can also remain in the soil through summer. For best results, apply organic fertilizer annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin of the \u003cem\u003esphaerocephalon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAllium sphaerocephalon\u003c\/em\u003e was first described around 1753. It belongs to the \u003cem\u003eAlliaceae\u003c\/em\u003e family and is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. The name 'sphaerocephalon' means 'spherical head', derived from the Greek 'sphaira (σφαῖρα)' meaning “sphere” and 'kephalē (κεφαλή)' meaning “head”—a reference to the plant’s round flower shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBio \u003cem\u003eAllium sphaerocephalon\u003c\/em\u003e Order Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅ Skal certified: 109459\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📦 Packed per \u003cstrong\u003e10\u003c\/strong\u003e bulbs or choose stacking discount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e💰 Stacking discount: \u003cstrong\u003eE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder now, delivery in 7 to 14 working days.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📬 EU Shipping €8.95 – \u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e from €100 purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowering time:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJune - July\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting time:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrom September\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting depth:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 cm deep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting distance:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 cm apart\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 cm tall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlower diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 cm wide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLocation:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePartial shade, sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoil pH:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoam, sandy – slightly alkaline\/neutral\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVery hardy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGood (naturalizes)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFamily:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlliaceae\u003c\/em\u003e (onion family)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurple\/green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBee-friendly:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFragrant:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb size:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bloemoloog.nl\/collections\/bio-allium\" title=\"Buy organic alliums at Bloemoloog.nl\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOther Allium Varieties\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"106\" width=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/1607\/5608\/files\/EU_Organic_Logo_Colour_OuterLine_rgb.jpg?v=1730902844\" alt=\"Skal organic certification - NL-BIO-01\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNL-BIO-01\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloemoloog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46818499002712,"sku":"104","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/1607\/5608\/files\/BioAllium_Sphaerocephalon_-Biologischepaarsedrumsticks_ookbekendalskogellookoftrommelstokjes_5.webp?v=1749020314","url":"https:\/\/bloemoloog.nl\/en-fi\/products\/organic-allium-sphaerocephalon-drumsticks","provider":"Bloemoloog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
