Rare Dwarf Allium

Allium Nevskianum is a distinctive low-growing variety featuring large, rose-red flower heads on short stems rising above attractive, broad blue-grey leaves. Works beautifully as a solitary specimen or when grouped in small clusters. When paired with taller varieties that have minimal or no foliage, the overall effect is striking. Rich in nectar, this perennial attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, and containers. Originally found in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan.

Allium General Information

Later spring blooming ornamental plants that work great with early flowering summer perennials. Do not plant too closely together since they multiply rapidly. Plant Alliums in full sun in early fall. Water well throughout the growing season. Please note: We are not permitted to ship Alliums to Idaho or the Washington counties of Adams, Benton, Franklin, Grant or Klickitat.

Allium Plant Care

The smaller varieties of Allium should be planted 4" deep and the larger varieties 7-8" deep. Spacing 6-8". Likes well-drained soil. Clumps may be lifted and divided in either spring or fall. Allium will tolerate most soils, but performs best in sandy soils. Add organic matter like compost to clay soils if needed to improve drainage and lighten the soil.
