Allium stipitatum 'Mount Everest'
Height x Spread: 90cm x 50cm
The large white spherical heads on this Allium contrast really well with brightly coloured perennials such as Geum 'Totally Tangerine'. A good candidate for a white garden, they are also a great way of lightening up areas of darker and denser planting such as evergreens.
It is in flower in early summer and requires a sunny position with reasonable soil. Spot planting of this Allium with the purple varieties in a mixed border really highlights the contrasting colours of all of the varieties.
Available from Feb - Mid May
