Description
Allium flavum, also known as the yellow-flowered onion, offers a refined, airy touch to naturalistic and Mediterranean-style plantings. Its nodding clusters of bright yellow blooms emerge on slender stems in mid to late summer, providing late-season nectar for bees and hoverflies.
This bulb thrives in free-draining soils, rocky beds, and gravel schemes, making it an excellent choice for cultivating and sustainable public planting. It pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses and compact perennials. Its ability to naturalise in low-maintenance areas makes it a favourite for long-term landscaping in public and civic spaces.
Ideal for planting schemes with a summer gap, biodiversity corridors, and modern dry gardens. Also useful in urban planting pockets or green roof applications.
