Allium Sphaerocephalon ‘Drumsticks’ | 30 Bulbs Per Pack

These Drumstick Allium bulbs make a perfect show piece in your garden, whether you have a beautiful cottage garden or a more contemporary look - these fit in well in both! These are very unique as the flowers first open as green then start to turn a purple/crimson colour from the top downwards, creating a two-tone flower head.

Ideal for borders, rockeries or containers, with heights of 60cms (24"). They are late spring - early summer blooming and are a wonderful sight as well as being attractive to bees and butterflies alike! 

Delivery from September onward.

Plant the bulbs pointy side up in well-drained fertile soil in a sunny site.

The plants are long-lived and if you plant the bulbs deeply to begin with they will flower for many years. The curled strappy leaves appear first before the flower stalk. Do not be tempted to cut away the leaves as they are helping to put the goodness into next year’s flowers.  Once the foliage has turned brown and died back, you can remove it.

NOTE – Ornamental onions are harmful if eaten.
