Allium sphaerocephalon, also known as Drumstick Allium, produces tight egg-shaped heads of deep maroon-purple florets. Perfect for borders, naturalising in grass, or weaving through perennials in public planting schemes.
Allium sphaerocephalon is a superb addition to any landscape project where movement, texture, and architectural interest are key. Known for its rich, burgundy-purple, drumstick-shaped flowers, this late-flowering allium adds vertical lift and contrast to meadows, perennial borders, and urban planting schemes. It’s especially effective when planted in bold drifts or interspersed through grasses and drought-tolerant perennials like Stipa, Salvia, or Echinacea.
Highly attractive to pollinators, A. sphaerocephalon is an excellent low-maintenance choice for biodiversity-focused design. It naturalises well in free-draining soil and thrives in full sun, making it ideal for roadside verges, wildflower meadows, and civic planting where longevity and minimal care are important.
