Why we like it
Alliums, also known as ornamental onions, are grown for their showy and distinctive flower heads which add a unique style to any setting. Even when the plants die back, the dried flower heads look attractive in the garden. Whether fresh and full of colour or naturally dried and striking, the flowers can be cut for indoor displays. The flowers are also much beloved by bees and other pollinating insects.

How to grow and care for Allium bulbs
- Plant 20cm deep and 10cm or more apart
- Stagger the planting over a few weeks in the autumn and winter if you want to and this will result in the blooms opening up over a longer period in the spring
- Alliums do best in sunny sheltered spots whene the wind is less likely to do damage.
- once flowers are finished or faded leave the foliage in place as the plant will naturally draw nutrients from them back into the bulb for next year.
- You can cut them back to the ground once the leaves and stem have shriveled.
- best to plant alliums in amonst other plants so as to not have the leaves visible. The leaves tend to die off just before flowering.
-Allium bulbs can be divided up every four years. Simply dig up with hand trowel and jently split the clump of bulbs into individual bulbs and plant straight away.
- Feed alliums during the spring and summer and finally just as the flower is finishing.
