Description

Introducing the perfect Alliums for ending your garden's summer season in style. 'Millenium' boasts a riot of rose-purple sphere flowers on tall stems.

Late-blooming, erupting with flowers from the middle to the end of summer, this Allium looks attractive at the front of a border or in pots, thanks to a compact nature.

Alliums are prized summer garden additions, largely due to how drawing they are to beneficial insects, such as butterflies and bees, with this variety being labelled by the RHS as a ‘Plant for Pollinators’.

Slender stems, each around 40-50cm tall, rise from glossy green foliage, and are topped with pom-pom-like clusters of star-shaped flowers.

What’s more, the purple flowers look exceptional in a fresh cut vase display, bringing a splash of nature into the home, where they can be enjoyed for even longer!

Supplied as a set of five bare roots, ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • Find a location where the soil drains well and where your Allium can bask in full sun.
  • Care Information

    Planting Advice for Alliums:

    • Plant bare roots in spring, with some shelter to prevent top-heavy flowers from getting blown over.
    • Dig over the soil and remove any weeds before planting. Water well once in the ground.
    • Once established, Alliums are drought tolerant.

    Aftercare Advice for Alliums:

    • After planting, feed with a general-purpose feed such as our Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser.
    • Dried flower heads can be removed and made into indoor decorations or left on the plants to self-seed.
    • Divide Alliums every three to four years or when the plants begin to look overcrowded and blooming decreases.

    Pruning and Trimming Advice for Alliums:

    • The leaves die down at flowering time, so it's best to plant Alliums where this foliage is masked by that of other plants.
    • Avoid removing them while still green, as they provide the plants with energy for the following season.
    Delivery Information

    Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

    Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

    We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

    Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

    Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

    Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
