Gardeners Cottage Blakeney Allium White Ball Seeds
- One of the most reliable of the large white alliums
- We grow it in rows for maximum impact and it looks spectacular
- Traditional cottage garden flower
- As this variety is grown en-masse we expect the parent characteristics to be preserved in the majority of the seedlings, but expect some variation to occur.
- Self-seeds abundantly when established
- 12-18-cm ball head flowers that are bee-friendly
- Flower heads are held 3-4ft tall
- Cottage garden favourite
- Very easy to grow, and can be sown immediately upon receipt or stored for sowing in spring.
- Can also be sown and grown in pots for 12 months for planting out the small bulbs into their flowering position for the following summer.
- Expect to reach flowering size in years 2 and 3 after sowing
- Sow in a well-drained gritty soil or compost, covering the seeds with 1-2mm for the best germination.
- Seed sown in late autumn may over-winter and germinate the following spring
Our favourite way to grow Allium White ball is in a large mass planting, the resulting block of colour when in flower is spectacular with real distance impact in the early evening
