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 allium Caeruleum 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. Larger bulbs should be planted 10 cm deep and the smaller ones 5 cm deep; they may be left undisturbed for many years.

Red Mohican
M5036
Aptly named Allium ‘Red Mohican’ bears tufted heads of wine-red blooms with tiny white tips. The uniquely shaped flowers are an interesting contrast to other varieties of Allium and are slightly later flowering than most, usually blooming throughout July making them an excellent choice for extending the season.
Popular with bees, hoverflies and summer pollinators, this affable allium Red Mohican will spice up a summer border, adding height and texture and is excellent for picking.
Alliums thrive in a sunny position in the garden in well-drained, fertile soil where they can naturalise.
Suits both contemporary planting schemes and a traditional, cottage garden style.
