ALLIUMS
Related to Onions, Garlic, chives, shallots and Leeks, Alliums (Ornamental Onions) are grown for their dense clusters of flowers, which look like lollipops. Height varies from 6 inches to 5 feet and is an excellent cut flower. Though few give off any significant onion odor to detract from their beauty, the pungent aroma characteristic of the genus is usually obvious only if you tear a leaf.
The ALLIUM GLOBEMASTER is exceptionally vigorous and reliable Alliums bearing giant flowers on firm straight stems. With large and dense flowers, 10″ across with an abundance of violet purple florets that bloom for weeks, Alliums offer a wide diversity of color, height, and blooming times.
The ‘Globemaster’ Giant Allium truly lives up to its name and is truly a marvel with its gorgeous purple blooms sometimes reaching 12″ in diameter. The mammoth round flowers heads are extremely unique and even hold their petals long after the flower has finished blooming, making it very popular among crafters who use them in dried floral arrangements.
