Allium nevskianum Bulb

Allium nevskianum is a distinctive ornamental onion valued for its compact growth habit and bold, architectural presence. It forms a low rosette of broad, grey-green leaves that provide a striking base for its short but sturdy stems, each topped with a large, domed head of starry pinkish-purple flowers in late spring. This allium is particularly suited to rock gardens, alpine beds, and gravel borders, where its unique structure and subtle colouring can be appreciated up close. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, preferring dry conditions during dormancy. Slow to spread, it makes a tidy and long-lasting addition to smaller spaces or collectors’ gardens. The flowers attract pollinators such as bees, adding biodiversity to the planting scheme. Allium nevskianum is low-maintenance and thrives with minimal intervention, offering both form and floral interest to spring displays. Its compact yet striking habit makes it a valuable feature in carefully curated planting schemes.
