Allium Giganteum

Allium giganteum features huge spherical heads densely packed with small starry lilac florets, gracefully held at the top of towering sturdy stems.

Native to the Himalayan region, this heirloom variety will come back year after year to bring vertical interest to the late spring and early summer garden. Also known as giant onion, this impressive allium will look particularly striking planted in bold groups or scattered amongst grasses and low-growing hardy perennials in sunny borders and wild meadows. Reminiscent of fireworks captured mid-explosion, its blooms are fabulous featured in fresh and dried flower bouquets; they are also magnets for pollinators!

Alliums and their decorative seedheads are a great way to bring interest to the autumn and winter garden, whilst also providing wildlife with a much needed source of food and shelter during this challenging time of the year. Last but not least, they offer the added benefit of being deer and rabbit resistant!
