Allium pulchellum Bulb

Allium pulchellum is a striking and elegant ornamental onion known for its large, spherical flower heads composed of numerous star-shaped, deep lilac to violet florets. Blooming in late spring to early summer, the vibrant blooms are held high on strong, upright stems above a clump of broad, strap-like green foliage. This species thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, preferring a sheltered spot to protect its tall flower stems from wind damage. Allium pulchellum adds bold vertical interest and a splash of rich colour to borders, rock gardens, and mixed planting schemes. It is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for a variety of garden styles from traditional to contemporary. The flowers attract bees and other pollinators, contributing to garden biodiversity. Its dramatic presence and reliable flowering habit make it a favourite among gardeners seeking standout summer interest.
