Description
These effortlessly stylish white Allium amplectens 'Graceful Beauty' is really the cream of the crop when it comes to providing varied structure in borders or containers in late-spring. Gracing you with its presence every year, these reliable and easy-to-grow bulbs are so rewarding. The flower globe is formed of masses of dazzling star-like white blooms, each with elegantly pointed petals and finished with the minute detail of dainty purple anthers to give a subtle hint of colour. Standing on tall, slender stems which sway gently in the breeze, it’s really no wonder they’ve been named ‘Graceful Beauty’.
Make an eye-catching feature with this variety by planting the bulbs in groups or gentle swathes in a mixed border. This particular allium is quite compact, which also makes it a great choice for containers where they’ll be quite happy on a sunny patio or balcony.
Alliums are very easy to grow and are happy in most gardens – they just love a sunny position. White goes with everything, so you can enjoy them amongst flowers of any other colour or as a statement flower set against shrubs or foliage plants. Likewise, if you have a white garden, these are an absolute must. They look equally fine in rock gardens, open fields or flower beds. Easy to grow and maintain, Allium amplectens 'Graceful Beauty' are excellent choices for any gardening enthusiast. And this will be one of your first choices when you want to fill your vase!
