Allium Summer Drummer
M5026
Description
A majestic Allium which towers in the late-summer border at a height of almost 2 metres tall. Allium ‘Summer Drummer’ puts on a spectacular display, unmissable wherever the bulbs are planted.
Smooth grey stems hold the muted-mauve globes aloft during June and July, drawing in bees and hoverflies to land and feast on their nectar-rich florets. A sunny spot and fertile, well-drained soil suits this handsome allium Summer Drummer best – there it will settle happily, naturalising and putting on a stellar show for years to come.
Combine with other Allium bulbs for a long season of harmonious garden interest.
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.
