The slender, 24 to 30" stems are sturdy yet graceful. Flowers are long-lasting and nice in bouquets. Returns year after year.

I have never been a fan of Alliums so never desired them in my gardens but because my Granddaughter loves purple I ordered 10 Purple Sensation bulbs last fall, received and planted 5 bulbs in two separate spots in November. They all came up with beautiful buds, and they keep opening bigger every day. Two bulbs in each group produced two stalks/flowers, very pleased. Will order more for other spots. Also very happy as the deer ignore them!

Lovely. Allium is so beautiful in spring. This definitely leans more magenta/pink.

This allium is lovely. Leans more magenta/pink. Beautiful sight in the garden in spring.

Lovely. It definetly leans more magenta/pink. Such a gorgeous sight to see in spring. .

Highly recommended!

Fantastic bulbs. I’ve never grown allium before and I’m impressed. Totally enjoying these, a bit of spring beauty as they bloom after the daffodils and tulip and are so sturdy to survive the crazy spring winds here. They don’t look like anything else too, unique. I’ll be ordering more of these! Did I mention the wonderful customer service? Yep.

Arrived on time, just as promised

The bulbs arrived packed beautifully and on time, just as promised. Easy to follow instructions were attached to the the bag of bulbs. The bulbs are uniform and healthy. Had a beautiful weekend to get them planted and I can't wait until next season when they bloom!
