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.

Extra Credit	Plant with your favorite ornamentals like dahlias to keep bad bugs away.
