Allium Caeruleum

The alliums bring a kind of structural magic to the late spring garden that few other flowers can replicate. Caeruleum raises its perfectly spherical intense violet-blue head above the border in June to August, a small architectural marvel that also happens to be loved by every bee in the neighbourhood. Loved by bees and butterflies, structurally interesting from bud to dried seedhead, and easy to grow in almost any well-drained soil — Caeruleum is one of those garden plants that earns its keep in every possible direction. Dutch-grown and hand-selected from BLOM's growers for the firm, full bulbs that produce the most generous flower globes — the kind of allium that photographs beautifully and looks even better in person.
