Giant Mixed – Allium Bulbs
Mixed giant alliums are an enchanting combination of large allium varieties, renowned for their striking, globe-shaped flower heads that can reach impressive heights of 2 to 4 feet. These decorative bulbs bloom from late spring to early summer, offering a spectacular display with flowers ranging in colour from rich royal purple to gentle lavender and even white.
The round flower clusters, often up to 8 inches in diameter, are supported on tall, sturdy stems, making them perfect for adding height and visual interest to garden beds, borders, or as striking focal points in mixed plantings. Alliums are not only attractive but also beneficial, drawing pollinators such as bees and butterflies to the garden while being relatively resistant to deer and pests.
They thrive in well-drained soil with ample sunlight, making them suitable for a variety of garden settings. When planting, it's best to space the bulbs about 6 to 12 inches apart to allow for their broad growth. With their striking appearance and ease of care, mixed giant alliums are a popular choice among gardeners aiming to create a bold and vibrant landscape.
