Description

Introduce a riot of rose-purple Allium blooms to your garden with 'Millenium'. A mid-to-late summer flowering variety, with pom-pom-like flowers on tall stems above glossy green foliage. Compact, so is great for the front of a border or in a pot, Alliums are known for attracting bees and butterflies, even labelled by the RHS as 'Plants for Pollinators'.

The slender stems are each around 40-50cm tall, and are topped with clusters of star-shaped flowers. Plus, the purple flowers look exceptional in a fresh cut vase display, bringing a splash of nature into the home, where they can be enjoyed for even longer!

Supplied as a set of five bare roots, ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • Find a location where the soil drains well and where your Allium can bask in full sun.
  • Care Information

    Planting Advice for Alliums:

    • Plant bare roots in spring, with some shelter to prevent top-heavy flowers from getting blown over.
    • Dig over the soil and remove any weeds before planting. Water well once in the ground.
    • Once established, Alliums are drought tolerant.

    Aftercare Advice for Alliums:

    • After planting, feed with a general-purpose feed such as our Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser.
    • Dried flower heads can be removed and made into indoor decorations or left on the plants to self-seed.
    • Divide Alliums every three to four years or when the plants begin to look overcrowded and blooming decreases.

    Pruning and Trimming Advice for Alliums:

    • The leaves die down at flowering time, so it's best to plant Alliums where this foliage is masked by that of other plants.
    • Avoid removing them while still green, as they provide the plants with energy for the following season.
