Description

Just when you think the allium season should be drawing to a close, along comes Allium 'Millenium' to extend the show seamlessly into midsummer with a defiant fresh burst of pink pompon flowers. Not only is this one later flowering that other alliums, but it’s a clump-forming perennial so it’s super strong and forms an impressive group of stems over the years. And if that wasn’t reason enough to be persuaded, it’s a bee and butterfly magnet too. With so many great features, it’s hard to say no to Allium 'Millenium'!

Choose a space for this resilient, hardy and low maintenance perennial allium in a sunny border or large patio container and it will quietly get on with it, requiring very little fuss at all. In garden terms, this is a good doer – a pretty plant with a great personality and an all-round crowd pleaser.

Useful information

    • Soak your Allium 'Millenium' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.

    • Plant your bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.

    • Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.

    • Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
