In bloom these fabulous globes - up to 20cm (8in) in diameter - have a metallic sheen. The faded flowerheads hold up well in the border and are useful for dried flower arrangements. Perfect for a sunny site, dotted in small groups among ornamental grasses, or as part of a Mediterranean scheme. Alliums look best planted between medium-sized herbaceous plants, which help to mask the strap-like leaves, which fade by the time the flowers appear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Garden care: Plant the bulbs 15cm deep and 20cm apart to avoid the flowers being to crowded. Avoid excessive soil moisture and split and divide large clumps in autumn or spring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Eventual Height: 0.6m\u003cbr\u003e    Eventual Spread: 0.2m","brand":"Taylors Bulbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54694360121671,"sku":"1074473","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/8821\/4500\/files\/TP691-Allium-Cristophii.jpg?v=1787308126","url":"https:\/\/www.newlands.ie\/products\/allium-christophii","provider":"Newlands Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
