Description
Add striking structure and colour to your garden with Allium Atropurpureum, a hardy perennial bulb known for its bold late-spring display. This variety produces deep purple-red flowers packed into half-sphere heads up to 5cm across, held proudly on tall stems reaching up to 100cm.
With its strap-shaped green leaves and elegant upright form, Allium Atropurpureum makes a dramatic statement in borders, cottage gardens, and mixed planting schemes. Its tall stems work beautifully behind or among other flowers, adding both height and contrast.
As part of the allium family, these bulbous perennials carry a subtle onion-like scent and feature star-shaped flowers that not only look stunning but also attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. For best results, plant in well-drained soil in full sun, where they’ll return year after year.
