Allium Nigrum

Spherical, structural and quietly magnificent, Nigrum produces its unusual living green globe above the fading foliage of earlier spring flowers — arriving exactly when the border needs a new focal point and delivering one with considerable style. Bees arrive the moment the first flowers open and remain until the last one fades — Nigrum is genuinely valuable to pollinators, not just decorative. Even after flowering, the seedheads add weeks of structural interest, catching dew in the mornings and frost when autumn arrives. 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.
