Allium Flavum

Allium flavum is a delightful and airy summer-flowering allium, bearing delicate nodding clusters of golden-yellow bells atop slender stems. Its graceful form and gentle colour bring a natural elegance to sunny borders, gravel gardens, and wildflower plantings. Loved by pollinators and low-maintenance, it adds a cheerful shimmer to the garden in midsummer. Perfect for naturalising, this charming bulb weaves effortlessly among perennials, offering a soft yet striking contrast to bolder blooms.
