Allium nigrum (multibulbosum) 12/14

Allium nigrum delivers striking, globe-shaped umbels of creamy-white flowers with a green centre on sturdy stems. Ideal for borders, wild planting schemes, or pollinator-friendly projects. A robust mid-season allium for professional use.

Description

Allium nigrum, also known as Allium multibulbosum, is a reliable late-spring bloomer prized for its dense, dome-shaped umbels of ivory-white flowers. Each bloom features a subtle green eye, giving it architectural interest and visual freshness in planting schemes. Reaching 80–100 cm in height, it holds well in both formal and informal settings.

Favoured by landscapers for its strong vertical lines and pollinator appeal, it is highly effective in perennial borders, prairie-style schemes, and municipal plantings. Performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Pairs well with hardy geraniums, ornamental grasses, and drought-tolerant perennials.

Allium nigrum naturalises steadily and thrives in reduced-maintenance environments, making it ideal for public spaces and long-term perennial schemes.
