- Other Details
Purple Sensation is a delightful Allium that produces 4-5” globes of tightly packed purple flowers atop 24-30” stems. This variety naturalizes quite easily and can tolerate some shade, though she does best in full sun. She is a favorite of bees and butterflies, while remaining resistant to deer, rabbits, and other rodent pests. Purple Sensation performs best in zones 4-9, with added mulch for winter protection in zones 4-5. Plant Purple Sensation 6” below the soil line.
Purple Sensation is sold in packs of 10 for fall planting.
