Votaniki Schubertii Allium Bulbs – Spectacular Blooms, Allium Schubertii (Ornamental Onion) | Spring Blooming Perennial – Easy to Grow

Description

Allium schubertii is grown for its unique and attractive display of loose, star-shaped, reddish-purple flowers that bloom in giant, spherical umbels, up to 9-12 inches wide (22-30 cm), in late spring to early summer. They rise atop clumps of strap-shaped, blue-green, basal leaves which wither as the flowers begin to bloom. This spectacular bulbous perennial can be forced indoors in colder climates. Seed heads dry after bloom, and can be left for ornamental purposes or picked for flower arrangements. When the flower head ripens, the inflorescence detaches from the stem and rolls down the garden, thus dispersing the seeds. They are perennial, naturalizing well in favorable conditions, and are excellent for pollinator gardens as they attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Their long-lasting blooms are ideal for fresh or dried flower arrangements, making them versatile for both garden and home décor. Schubertii Alliums are also deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal maintenance. They pair well with other late spring perennials, such as irises, peonies, and ornamental grasses, adding unique texture and height to mixed borders. Their architectural form and dazzling floral display make them a conversation piece in any garden setting. Plant these bulbs in the fall for a dramatic show the following spring, ensuring they are spaced about 6-8 inches apart for the best visual impact.
