Description
Allium 'Mont Blanc'
Height x Spread: 100cm x 20cm
Stunning dense spherical flower heads 10cm in circumference filled with individual white star shaped flowers with a hint of green. For best impact plant these large globes in drifts in a cottage garden border. They also look stylish in a gravel garden amongst ornamental grasses.
Flowering in early Summer, they like a sunny spot in fertile well drained soil which can even be on the gritty/sandy side. A real bee magnet due to their nectar rich flowers, having these in your garden is a great way to get pollinators into your garden. They also do well as a cut flower and are perfect for decorations fresh or dried.
