Description: These alliums are an absolute favorite of mine. They have more of a mauve purple shade and so are a contrast to other varieties such as Purple Sensation. They're super tall so create a big impact.
Care: Not much care needed, just make sure they are in well drained soil. Mine took a couple of years to flower but be patient, it's worth it. Mine also flowered quite late but it may have been a fluke!
