Allium 'Eros' Bulb

Allium 'Eros' is a refined ornamental onion cultivar celebrated for its soft lilac-pink, star-shaped flowers that form rounded umbels up to 10 cm (4 inches) across. Blooming in late spring to early summer, these elegant blossoms are held aloft on sturdy, upright stems reaching approximately 35 cm (14 inches) in height. The plant's strap-shaped, mid- to dark green foliage remains attractive during the flowering period, contributing to its overall appeal. 'Eros' is a selection derived from Allium unifolium, offering larger and more vividly colored blooms than its parent species. Thriving in full sun with well-drained, moderately fertile soil, it is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Its fragrant flowers are highly attractive to pollinators, including bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity. While not native to the UK, Allium 'Eros' is widely cultivated for its ornamental value and adaptability to temperate gardens.
