Allium Summer Drummer - Pack of 15 Bulbs
Availability: Out of stock
Allium Summer Drummer is a real wonder, producing huge fist-sized globes of small star-shaped, pinkish-purple flowers studded with white flashes atop tall stems around 150cms (5ft) high - these really are one to plant to impress! The blooms appear in summer above narrow, grey-green foliage.
When in flower, the blooms of these fabulous globes reach up to 20cms (8 inches) across in diameter with a lovely metallic sheen. Beneficial bees will find these Alliums a rich source of nectar; they look fantastic planted in combination with herbaceous plants such as Sedum and ornamental grasses like Stipa.
Thriving in a bright sunny spot on well-drained soil, they look best planted in groups among ornamental grasses, or as part of a Mediterranean scheme. We recommend planting Summer Drummer Alliums between medium-sized herbaceous plants, which help to mask their foliage, which tends to fade as the flowers appear.
The flowers of this Allium are also edible, making a great addition to seasonal salads.
Supplied as a pack of 15 bulbs.
