Striking Beauties
Statuesque, straight stems flaunt semi-circular 3-4” umbels that consist of hundreds of florets. White petals are painted with a pink slash on each petal and a blueberry hued center. Allium Starlight, like pretty parasols, will sway on a gentle summer breeze above clumps of slender foliage. Also known as Ornamental Onions, they are equally lovely when they dry on the stems and go to seed. Their beauty combines color with interesting flower shapes to create a garden design with texture and depth. Even smaller gardens can accommodate their vertical presence.

Allium General Information

Late blooming ornamental plants that work great with early flowering 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 6-10". 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.
