'Chicago'

Allium 'Chicago' is a dependable and characterful addition to the late spring garden, offering a confident display of vibrant purple flower heads that hover neatly above the foliage. Each bloom forms a well-proportioned half-globe, densely packed with tiny star-like florets that together create a rounded head of around 10cm across. There is a pleasing solidity to Allium 'Chicago', its upright stems holding each flower with quiet assurance. As Allium 'Chicago' comes into its own, it introduces both colour and structure at a moment when borders are beginning to find their rhythm.

Planted in autumn and returning reliably year after year, Allium 'Chicago' is particularly effective through the middle of a sunny border, where its bold yet balanced form can rise through softer planting. The blooms of Allium 'Chicago' are not only garden-worthy but also superb for cutting, retaining their shape and colour beautifully whether used fresh or dried. Despite its polished appearance, Allium 'Chicago' asks for very little beyond well-drained soil and a bright, open position. Grouped in drifts or dotted with intention, Allium 'Chicago' lends a sense of structure and cohesion that feels both natural and carefully considered.
