Characteristics of ALLIUM ampeloprasum

ALLIUM ampeloprasum, native to Southern Europe, is known for its tall stems topped with large, purple globular flower heads. This bulbous perennial forms linear bluish-green foliage in spring that dies back before blooming. Highly cold-hardy, it thrives in temperate and continental climates and naturalizes easily without becoming invasive.

How to use ALLIUM ampeloprasum?

ALLIUM ampeloprasum is perfect for perennial borders, garden beds, or contemporary landscapes. Planted in groups, it creates striking vertical accents. It’s also well-suited for wildflower meadows and dry gardens. Combine it with ornamental grasses or silver-leaved plants for a graphic effect. Also excellent as a cut or dried flower.

Tips for growing ALLIUM ampeloprasum

ALLIUM ampeloprasum prefers well-drained, light soils, even dry in summer. Plant bulbs 15 cm deep and 20 cm apart. A sunny position is essential for flowering. It needs little watering except during prolonged drought. Allow the foliage to die back naturally to replenish bulb reserves. Once established, it requires almost no maintenance.
