Allium Globemaster is a striking flowering plant that produces large spherical blooms that can reach up to 10 inches in diameter. The blooms start as a light purple color and gradually deepen to a deep purple hue. The plant grows from a bulb and produces long, straight stems with large leaves at the base. The stems can reach up to 3 feet in height, and the plant blooms in late spring to early summer.

Why we like it:

• Adds a dramatic touch to any garden or landscape design
• Low-maintenance and easy to grow, making it a great option for beginner gardeners
• Attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden

What to know:

• Plant bulbs in well-draining soil in a sunny to partly shaded location
• Water regularly, but avoid overwatering as the bulbs can rot in waterlogged soil
• Fertilize in the autumn with fertiliser like Westland bone meal to encourage healthy bulb growth
• Deadhead spent blooms to promote a longer blooming period and prevent self-seeding
• Allow foliage to die back naturally after blooming to allow the bulb to store energy for next year's growth

Height and Spread:

• When fully grown, Allium Globemaster can reach a height of 3-4 feet and a spread of 1-2 feet.
