- The Allium Dutchman is an unusual new variety of allium that produces enormous large flowerheads of starry violet purple blooms in early Summer loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies. This herbaceous perennial can grow to between 70 and 85 cm in height and each bloom can measure up to an incredible 20 cm in width. These blooms get bigger and better every year in UK gardens, creating an eye-catching display. Dutchman Allium is approximately five times bigger than a common pom pom allium.
- These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds and garden borders or also in patio pots to give height to a flower display. These tall plants make a great addition to any planting arrangement and are an excellent accompaniment to low growing plants such as ornamental grasses or herbaceous plants. Allium Globemaster can also be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden.
- If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.
