Choose your favourite ornamental allium bulbs (ornamental onion / ornamental garlic) from the dropdown menu and create a garden full of colour, structure and pollinator-friendly flowers.
This multi-listing is ideal if you want to mix and match varieties for borders, pots, rockeries or naturalising planting schemes.
Alliums are loved for their strong shapes — from neat starry clusters to airy umbels — and they pair beautifully with tulips, irises, peonies and cottage-garden perennials.
Plant in groups for the best display, and you’ll get a more “professional” look with repeat patterns of colour across your garden.
These are hardy bulbs that can return year after year when planted in well-drained soil.
