Allium Purple Sensation

Allium 'Purple Sensation' bulbs produce plants with reddish violet balls 4–5" across, borne on 20–30" stems in late spring. This is the earliest of the large-flowered Alliums and also among the most affordable. The genus Allium (the Latin means "garlic") offers colorful, distinctive, and long-lasting forms that are standouts in the early summer garden. Alliums are sun-lovers and prefer well-drained, even sandy, soil. Deer, mice, chipmunks, and related predators generally avoid this group, so you can plant with impunity.
