Allium Bulbs

Elevate your garden with the tall beauty of allium bulbs, often likened to "fireworks frozen mid-explosion." These remarkable flowers add a dramatic touch to any outdoor space. Many flowering over a metre tall.

At Peter Nyssen, we offer a diverse selection of allium bulbs. Part of the humble onion, family alliums display a range of flower shapes and colours to suit your preferences. From the magnificent star-studded purple heads of allium christophii to the sunny yellow blooms of allium moly. Even the culinary wonders of allium ursinum, our collection includes something for every gardening enthusiast. 

Not just for gardeners

Alliums thrive in sunny areas and make a striking display when their tall heads emerge amidst the foliage of your perennials. These spring and summer flowering plants also attract a wide variety of bees and other pollinators to your garden, contributing to a vibrant ecosystem.

When to plant allium bulbs

To ensure optimal growth, it's best to plant allium bulbs from September to mid-November, with an acceptable planting period extending until mid-December, weather permitting.

Choose a sheltered spot with well-draining soil and ample sunlight for your allium bulbs. Their tall flowers will stand proudly, unaffected by strong winds. Remember, alliums belong to the onion family and appreciate sunlit conditions.
