Allium Caeruleum
M5002
Description
An unusual blue Allium, ‘Caeruleum’ bears compact heads of deep flax-blue flowers during June and July. A fine cultivar to enliven any modern planting scheme or traditional garden with bold structure and striking colour.
Plant Alliums in swathes or large groupings for a natural look and maximum impact. In full sun and on well-drained soil, the bulbs will happily multiply, providing an enhanced display year on year.
The blooms are attractive to summer pollinators and are useful for extending the season of interest as a late-flowering variety of the Allium family.
Care Guide
Plant in rich, well-drained soil.
The larger bulbs should be planted 10cm (4”) deep and the smaller ones 5cm (2”) deep; they may be left undisturbed for many years.
