Why we like this plant
Allium 'Atropurpureum' is prized for its dramatic colouring and impressive stature, making it a striking focal point in any garden. Its rich, velvety purple blooms offer a wonderful contrast to softer pastel flowers and green foliage. This allium’s commanding presence is perfect for adding depth and structure to mixed borders and cutting gardens alike.
Planting guide
Plant bulbs in autumn, 15 to 20 cm deep and 20 to 25 cm apart, in well-drained soil with full sun exposure.
Care tips
Maintain well-drained soil to prevent bulb rot. Remove spent flower heads to encourage healthy growth. Lift and divide bulbs every few years to preserve vigour.
