Allium Christophii
M5003
Description
Known as the ‘Star of Persia’, Allium ‘Christophii’ is an ever-popular, majestic Allium which flowers freely and without fail every June.
Large globes of star-shaped, amethyst flowers top strong and sturdy stems, making them wonderful for cutting and adding to arrangements as a fresh flower or dried seedhead.
A wonderful plant for bringing structure, shape and impactful colour to summer borders, Allium ‘Christophii’ has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the RHS for its prize-winning qualities and looks.
Group the bulbs together, perhaps with other varieties for varied texture and height, in the border for a harmonious and eye-catching, early summer display.
