Allium Carolinianum Rosy Dream
M4995
Description
Charming Allium ‘Carolinianum Rosy Dream’ produces fluffy heads of soft lilac-pink flowers which add a feeling of summer romance to the garden with their gentle, yet structural floating flowers.
The fuzzy globes top smooth, straight stems up to 40cm tall and allium Carolinianum Rosy Dream look wonderful scattered through the front to mid border, rising up through grasses and mixed perennial planting.
Attractive to pollinators, this graceful, ornamental member of the onion family is most impactful when grown in clumps, or ribbons of pink in beds and large containers.
Thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil.
Care Guide
Plant in rich, well-drained soil. Larger bulbs should be planted 10 cm deep and the smaller ones 5 cm deep; they may be left undisturbed for many years.
