Allium Purple Rain - Pack of 3
Availability: Out of stock
Purple Rain Alliums possess attractive globe shaped heads of star shaped florets make a stunning impact planted in groups in beds and borders, perhaps twinned with other varieties of allium.
They can be container grown as well as used in your beds and borders and also make excellent as cut flowers blooming from late Spring in to Summer.
Purple Rain fits its names with the masses of rich, deep purple flowers, all held on stems around 100cm tall. This is a beautiful allium that will look well soaring up at the back of the border. Its attractive curled green leaves will wither before the flowers appear in early summer so we recommend accompanying them with low-growing perennials to provide filling foliage over the base areas.
The flowers of this Allium are also edible, making a great addition to seasonal salads.
Supplied as a pack of 3 bulbs.
