Allium caeruleum Bulb

Allium caeruleum, commonly known as Blue Allium, is a charming ornamental species admired for its stunning, globe-shaped clusters of star-like, pale to medium blue flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. These striking flower heads sit atop slender, erect stems above narrow, strap-shaped leaves, adding a cool splash of colour to borders, rock gardens, and mixed perennial beds. Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, Allium caeruleum prefers a sheltered spot to encourage strong growth and a prolonged flowering season. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires minimal maintenance, making it a dependable choice for gardeners seeking vibrant colour with architectural interest. Native to Central Asia, this species is not native to the UK but is widely grown and valued for its beautiful blue hues and versatility in temperate garden settings.
