Allium Purple Rain
M5035
Description
Huge flowerheads, up to 15cm across adorn slender straight stems on glamorous Allium ‘Purple Rain’.
A cross between Purple Sensation and Christophii, this dazzling cultivar has inherited the best qualities of both parents with an abundance of violet florets arranged in an interesting, open structure. Allium ‘Purple Rain’ has received a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS.
Tall stems make this variety excellent for cutting and using fresh in summer arrangements, and for drying and displaying as architectural seedheads.
Buds rocket up through the borders in late spring and burst into bloom during May and June.
Bulbs look best grouped together near the middle or back of the border for a striking and colourful display.
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.

Prince Mix
T1321
An exhibition of regal splendour, our Early Single ‘Prince Mix’ unites the royal siblings of the tulip world to combine their individual qualities for maximum impact. The delicate lilac blooms of the modest tulip ‘Candy Prince’ are bolstered by the rich purple of his bold brother, ‘Purple Prince’, and both are enlivened by a flash of the quick-witted, cheerful tulip ‘Sunny Prince’.
Appearing immediately after the Greigii and Kaufmanniana varieties have finished blooming, these Single Early tulips are strong and resilient, heroically withstanding inclement weather and exposed locations. The large, egg-shaped blooms in this collection appear simultaneously, for a magnificent pageant of colour.

Regale Album
L3297
Fresh white flowers are the epitome of elegance, on Trumpet-Shaped Lily ‘Regale Album’. This classic lily is one of the very best for cutting – display the stems alone in a simple tall vase for a timeless arrangement, or add to mixed arrangements as the starring bloom.
Soft, yellow-green buds open during late summer to reveal the huge downward-facing white trumpets with a buttery-yellow glow in the throat. A glorious fragrance exudes from the flowers once open, particularly on warmer days, so be sure to grow Trumpet-Shaped Lilium ‘Regale Album’ where they will be enjoyed best.
