Standout blooms that provide color and height
Purple Sensation Allium is a must-have for any garden enthusiast looking to add a burst of vibrant purple to their outdoor space. Each bag includes 12 bulbs, perfect for planting in clusters or spreading throughout garden beds and borders. Known for its striking globe-shaped flower heads, which can reach up to 4 inches in diameter, this perennial produces sturdy stems that rise gracefully above the greenery, making it a standout in any landscape. Apart from its undeniable beauty, this plant is also admired for being deer resistant and drought tolerant, making it a smart choice for low-maintenance gardens.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Purple Sensation Allium adds valuable vertical interest to borders and mixed plantings. Its delightful blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to a thriving ecosystem in your yard. Whether used in clusters for dramatic effect or mixed with other perennials for charming contrast, these alliums bring vibrant color and texture throughout the blooming season.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Allium Purple Sensation prefers well-draining soil and a sunny location. Dig a hole that is about twice the size of the bulb, place it pointy side up, and cover it with soil, ensuring it is planted at a depth of about 3 inches.
2. Watering: Once established, this plant is drought tolerant and requires minimal watering. During dry spells, water sparingly, ensuring the soil is not overly saturated as this can lead to bulb rot.
3. Pruning: This plant does not require much pruning. After the blooms fade, you may remove the spent flower heads to tidy up the garden, but leave the foliage intact until it turns yellow in order to allow the plant to gather energy for next season’s blooms.
4. Fertilizing: A light application of a balanced fertilizer in early spring when new growth appears can benefit Allium Purple Sensation. Avoid heavy feeding, as this plant thrives in average soil.
