Alliums, a type of perennial flower, are known for their impressive height, often towering above the rest of your garden's flora. Their alternate name, Ornamental Onions, comes from their distinct smell and taste in bulb form. Their unique spherical shape often draws comparisons to lollipops or fireworks, adding a sense of whimsy to any garden. A key aspect of their growth cycle is that they should be planted in the Autumn, which allows them to bloom in the later part of Spring. This timing makes them a spectacular showstopper for your garden just as the weather starts to warm up. Suitable for areas with full sun or partial shade, Alliums are versatile and can create an eye-catching feature in any location within your garden. Despite their grandeur, they are adaptable, providing a delightful burst of height and colour to any garden setting.
