Ideal for GARDEN and CONTAINER PLANTING
Allium Bulgaricum
ALLIUM BULGARICUM: Grand and ornamental, its naked stems bear a crown of bell-shaped flowers that glow green on the outside with striking lilac-pink markings on the inside. When the petals fade the seed heads retain their bold flower shapes long into autumn. This exceptionally tall and handsome plant from the shores of sicily will add an extra dimension to your cottage garden border. Plant in groups for an eye catching focal point. Divide mature clumps in August if areas become overcrowded. Alliums prefer to be dry during their dormancy. The Allium Bulgaricum is ideal for mass plantings, borders, and cut flowers. These plants are rabbit, squirrel, and deer resistant. Bulgaricum has a bloom period of about 3 weeks and they bloom in late spring to early summer.
