Alliums

The round-headed garlic draws attention with its striking flowers, which form unmistakable dark purple and burgundy dots. It is a summer-blooming variety that reaches a height of about seventy to one hundred centimeters. Its egg-shaped inflorescences, three to five centimeters in size, are densely packed and appear from June to August. Its leaves resemble chives in shape, but it is typical for summer garlic that they begin to naturally yellow and wither during the blooming period. The deep color of the flowers stands out perfectly in mixed prairie plantings alongside delicate ornamental grasses. Furthermore, the dense inflorescences act as a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. Anyone who creates home arrangements will love this plant. The firm, long stems are excellent for cutting into fresh bouquets, and the heads retain their shape and color after drying for use in dried arrangements. The entire plant is fully edible and completely resistant to common diseases.

Allium roseum comes from the sunny Mediterranean, where it grows naturally in dry steppe communities. Green leaves sprout from the bulbs in early spring, and by the end of May, delicate star-shaped flowers begin to open on thirty to forty-centimeter-tall upright stems. They are arranged in approximately seven-centimeter-wide inflorescences in a beautiful light pink shade. With their delicate fragrance, they act as a reliable lure for bees and other beneficial pollinators. In gardens, Allium roseum looks absolutely magical in the company of drought-tolerant ornamental grasses and various herbs, to which it adds lightness and color. It is a low-maintenance perennial that naturally retreats back into the bulb after flowering in the summer to gather strength for the following year. You can freely harvest its edible flowers to garnish food or for bouquets. Freshly cut stems can keep you happy in a vase for a good two weeks.

We send customers the largest mature bulbs directly. You just need to place them in the ground in autumn, and in the spring, they will reward you with truly rich and massive flowers. It is an excellent plant even for complete beginners, as it does not need complicated care or wind support. It handles harsher frosts well and reliably shows itself in full force every season in a suitable sunny location. In the garden, this garlic benefits most from planting in smaller or larger groups scattered among other sun-loving perennials. Given that its long leaves begin to die back and yellow during flowering, it is clever to plant lower shrubs or perennials with rich foliage in front of it. Fragrant purple flowers attract many pollinators to the garden and enliven the space just as early spring bulbs are fading and summer perennials are just waking up. 'Globemaster' is also a great choice for creating bouquets because the stems do not contain the typical strong aroma and they remain fresh in a vase for quite a long time. The whole flowers and young parts of the plant are surprisingly edible and can be used for original food decoration. After flowering, you get firm seed heads that you can easily dry for autumn and winter decorations.
