Allium Stipitatum Mount Everest
Delivery: From end August
Allium stipitatum Mount Everest features large spherical heads densely packed with small starry white florets, gracefully held at the top of tall sturdy stems.
Richly deserving of its RHS Award of Garden Merit, this aptly named allium will bring a fresh and architectural elegance to the late spring and early summer garden. Particularly striking planted in bold groups, this immaculate variety will also stand out against tall purple alliums in sunny borders and wild meadows where it will happily naturalise. 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!
