Ornamental Allium

Dr. Seuss Flowers for the Modern Garden

Ornamental Alliums are the exclamation points of the spring garden. They send up tall, sturdy stalks topped with perfectly round, purple globes that look like lollipops. Because they are in the onion family, they are completely deer and rodent-proof, yet they have no onion scent unless crushed.

Why You Need It:

• Architectural Shape: The perfect spheres contrast beautifully with other loose flowers.
• Deer Proof: One of the safest bulbs to plant in deer country.
• dried Flower: The seed heads dry perfectly on the plant and look cool all summer.

Planting Tips:

Plant bulbs in Fall in Full Sun. Their leaves often turn yellow before the flowers open, so plant them behind low perennials (like Catmint or Hostas) to hide the fading foliage.
