Christophii Allium Bulbs

Allium Christophii, fireworks in flower form, creates a few enormous 10" diameter blooms in a dusty purple color. The blooms can be left in place for year-round statuesque texture in the garden or for dried bouquets.

Allium is a fall planted bulb that deer and other critters hate, and we love. It makes a big statement in the early summer and will come back every year.

Includes 12 bulbs in a cloth bag with planting instructions and a wooden label stake.

Growing Info
How to Plant Dig a hole and tuck your bulbs in, pointy side up, about 6" deep (roughly 3 times the size of the bulbs) and about 9" apart. Now fill in the soil, give it a few solid pats so it compresses around the bulbs, then give it a long drink of water. Mark that pot or spot with your wooden plant marker so you know where your Allium live now. Wait for spring.
