The burgundy colour and the flower crown make this allium truly unique! It flowers in July and with its up to 100 cm tall flower stems it does very well in places at the back of the bed. This variety of allium is characterised by its striking flower shape. Each flower consists of a multitude of small star-shaped inflorescences that form a dense spherical shape. The bright red colour of the flowers fades slightly over time and takes on a beautiful pink hue. The allium is also excellent for wilding, so you will enjoy it for years to come. With a height of growth, this ornamental allium is also ideal as a cut flower. Its unique appearance and intense colour make it a popular decorative element for bouquets and flower arrangements.

Other information

  • First loosen the soil well where the allium bulbs will be planted. Then the soil is easier to work with.
  • Dig a hole and make sure it is 2 to 3 times as deep as the height of the bulbs.
  • For the distance between the bulbs, make sure it is 2 times the diameter of the bulbs.
  • Plant the flower bulbs in the hole with the pointed side facing up or with the root base facing down.
  • Cover the allium bulbs with soil and water them well.

Pre-orders can be placed up to the first of August, which will be shipped in the first half of September and delivered latest by October.
