Allium Cameleon
M4989
Description
Allium ‘Cameleon’ produces delicate flowerheads that gently fade from white to blush-pink, creating a soft watercolour effect through the late spring and early summer garden. Held on slender stems, the airy spherical blooms of allium ‘Cameleon’ bring movement, texture, and subtle colour to gravel gardens, modern borders, and naturalistic planting schemes.
As temperatures rise, the flower tones continue to soften and evolve, giving displays an ever-changing appearance full of light and elegance. Ideal for weaving through ornamental grasses and perennial planting, this graceful allium adds structure without heaviness and performs beautifully in sunny, well-drained positions.
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.

Surfside
N0408
Dwarf Cyclamineus Daffodil ‘Surfside’ produces elegant creamy-white reflexed petals surrounding a soft pale yellow trumpet that gradually fades to cream as the flowers mature. The gently swept-back blooms of narcissus ‘Surfside’ bring a fresh and graceful look to spring containers, rockeries, and smaller garden borders.
Compact and reliable, this refined variety flowers early in the season and pairs beautifully with muscari, species tulips, and other delicate spring bulbs. Its soft colouring and neat habit create a calm and sophisticated spring display.

Caeruleum
M5002
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.
