Allium hollandicum 'Purple Sensation'
Quick overview
Deep purple fully rounded pompoms on tall sturdy stems and one of the best and most reliable to alliums to grow for borders and container displays. Strap shaped green foliage adds texture.
(RHS - Award of Garden Merit)
A designer’s favourite! When spring daffodils and tulips have flowered, it is the turn of ornamental onions. Alliums take us into summer with high impact and after flowering the seed heads become a stunning architectural feature.
