Allium Summer Beauty
Delivery: End Aug to Feb
Allium Summer Beauty is a fabulous recent introduction producing majestic sprays of strong stems topped with rounded lavender-pink umbels.
Often described as a firework frozen mid-explosion, this clump-forming hardy perennial loved by pollinating insects will bring a welcome touch of colour and texture to the sunny garden border or container from June to August. It is excellent for cut flowers and unlike other varieties benefits from leaves that will remain green throughout the season. It is deer and rabbit resistant.
