Alliums

Blue garlic (Allium caeruleum) catches the eye at first glance with its pure sky-blue flowers, which look quite extraordinary in a summer garden. It originates from the vast steppes north of the Caspian Sea, giving it natural resilience. From the supplied bulbs, dense spherical flower heads with a diameter of approximately four centimeters will grow on stems forty to sixty centimeters tall during June and July. Its fragrant flowers are literally a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In the garden, this edible species works perfectly in gravel and steppe plantings. It pairs beautifully with shorter ornamental grasses and sun-loving perennials, providing an interesting color contrast. Florists enjoy using this garlic in summer bouquets because it stays fresh in a vase for a full fourteen days. In addition, the spherical heads are easy to dry for dried arrangements, where they retain their eye-catching shape for a long time.

Allium stipitatum 'Mount Everest' is a remarkable result of Dutch breeding that brings an extraordinary architectural element to the garden. Its individual snow-white florets with narrow petals form giant, shapely spheres. You will receive the largest bulbs, which will grow into sturdy, upright stems reaching a height of over one meter. These easily withstand wind and do not require support. The white flower heads are accompanied by typical green leaves that emit a characteristic aroma. In the garden, this variety is absolutely unmissable, especially in larger groups. It attracts attention in May and June and perfectly softens plantings of ornamental grasses or colorful perennials. The flowers act as a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, and are also edible, making them perfect for playful food garnishing. The sturdy stems stay fresh for a long time in a vase and are excellent for drying into dried arrangements. It is definitely worth leaving the faded heads in the garden, where they look beautiful in winter when covered in frost.

Allium 'Miami' is among the most popular ornamental bulbous plants. The 'Miami' cultivar excels in its extraordinary color, sturdy growth, and height of 80 to 100 centimeters. During May and June, it creates semi-spherical inflorescences in dark violet to purple-red tones. Compared to classic round alliums, it has a looser structure, which gives it a highly attractive, naturalistic look. Its striking heads harmonize perfectly with simple green leaves, and the entire plant is also pleasantly aromatic. In flower beds, it acts as a great vertical element that you can easily combine with ornamental grasses and smaller sun-loving flowers. The flowers act as a magnet for bees and bumblebees and will surprise you with their edibility – they make an original garnish for open-faced sandwiches or summer salads. Thanks to their sturdy, straight stems, Allium is excellent for cutting into fresh bouquets. It retains its eye-catching appearance for the rest of the year, whether you choose to dry the inflorescences or leave them in the garden as decoration for winter frosts and snow. You will receive top-quality bulbs from us, fully prepared for immediate planting.
