Allium caeruleum

Allium caeruleum grows from small bulbs which produce three cornered leaves in the spring which have withered by flowering time. A small ball of mid blue flowers forms in June about 18" (45cm) from the ground, sometimes with bulbils forming in the flower head. Not widely seen in gardens though should be easy enough in a sunny dry spot. Originating on the steppes of Russia and China.

Planting Instructions

Allium caeruleum bulbs should be planted only 1-2" (5cm) apart and 1.5" (3cm) deep and will do best in a reasonably sunny and dry spot.
