Ornamental Allium bulbs such as 'globemaster', gladiator' and 'giganteum' are easy care, sun loving plants, easy to grow, alliums have low water requirements and with large flower heads (see picture right) are a colourful addition to the garden border. Alliums work well in a cottage style garden. Why not try allium gladiator, molly, siculum, murrayanum or sphaerocephalon. Allium drumstick is a popular small upright allium. Allium bulbs for sale from our listed mail nurseries often come with cultural notes and growing tips. |

Alliums Plant Profile and Growing Hints Alliums are related to onions and garlic, alliums are the 'ornamental' side of the family. Alliums are tough, are reasonably drought tolerant and will cope with poor soil. Alliums prefer a sunny position in a well drained soil. Alliums will do well in a large deep pot or container. Plant alliums in autumn for great display the following summer. Allium giganteum is a large flowering variety, but look fo allium 'Molly', Allium Globemaster, and Allium Drumsticks, Allium Acuminatum, Allium sphaerocephalon and the white flowered Allium neapolitanum |
