Allium giganteum Bulb

Allium giganteum is a striking ornamental bulb known for its dramatic spherical flower heads composed of hundreds of small star-shaped violet-purple flowers. Blooming in late spring to early summer, these large, globe-like umbels can reach up to 20 cm in diameter, perched atop tall, sturdy stems that create a bold architectural feature in the garden. Thriving best in full sun with well-drained soil, Allium giganteum prefers sheltered spots to encourage strong growth and long-lasting blooms. This plant is relatively low maintenance and drought tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for adding vertical interest and vibrant color to borders, containers, and naturalized areas. Not native to the UK, it is widely appreciated for its impressive presence and ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
