In the Netherlands we call Allium Purple Sensation – The Stargazer. This stunning violet allium blooms during the whole month (May to June), which is a perfect transition flower between the spring and the summer. The allium consists of the tightly packed cluster of hundreds small, star-shaped flowers that form a huge and round flower ball! Because the stem of Allium Purple Sensation needs a little bit of support – plant it near the other plants or flowers.
Allium belongs to the same family as garlic and onion, that is why it’s called an “ornamental onion”. Make sure to plant your allium in a dry and well-drained (sandy) soil and open areas with full sun.
