These allium bulbs never fail to impress. If you are looking for magnificent alliums that have lasting appeal and return each year then these would be a great choice. 

Plant allium bulbs in the soil during October or November. Taller flowers such as these can be planted to depths of 15-20cm to give them a good anchoring. Alliums Like a well draining soil and can tolerate quite dry soil. Water regularly whilst the bulbs are actively growing foliage.
