Use and Care Manual

Allium are in the same family as garlic, onions, chives and

shallots. This makes gardeners wonder if they should include

them in their ornamental gardening plans since it conjures

up images of supermarket produce. Allium’s rounded blooms

make for high drama and interest in the garden because good

garden designs are often made up of different shapes. The

allium group becomes more popular annually with over 300

species to choose from. They amaze everyone and few plants

create this kind of wow in the garden. We will be adding

many new varieties soon!

About This Variety: Allium Purple Rain is known for it’s huge, round, purple 6” diameter flower heads. Attracts wildlife such as bees and butterflies, and like most alliums make for an excellent cut flower. One of a kind. Good to pair with our Allium Purple Sensation, which blooms earlier in the season. The leaves will wither away before it flowers. Bursts of color much like fireworks. Growing Instructions: Since allium do not like wet feet, find a sunny location where the soil drains well.
