Allium 'Globemaster'

Allium 'Globemaster' makes a bold statement with enormous, perfectly rounded spheres of rich violet-purple flowers that can reach up to 10" across. Held high on sturdy stems, these long-lasting blooms bring striking architectural interest to late spring gardens and continue to look beautiful even as they dry. Easy to grow and deer-resistant, 'Globemaster' is a showstopping addition to borders and cutting gardens alike. Late spring. Plant 3 per sq ft.

The genus Allium (the Latin means "garlic") offers colorful, distinctive, and long-lasting forms that are standouts in the early summer garden. Alliums are sun-lovers and prefer well-drained, even sandy, soil. Deer, mice, chipmunks, and related predators generally avoid this group, so you can plant with impunity. Tuck them among clumps of summer-flowering perennials where the Alliums' withering foliage will be hidden by the expanding perennials.
