Drumstick Allium

Note: Allium ship starting in late September based on availability and your zone, unlike other products. Plant around or after your first frost but before the ground freezes.

Drumstick Allium, also called Sphaerocephalon, is a beautiful perennial for gardens and bouquets with unique, violet, oval-shaped blooms. This heavy-producing plant begins blooming in late spring and continues throughout the summer. It’s easy to see why Drumstick Allium has been around since the 1500s! She is a pollinator favorite with minimal care requirements and low-water needs, thriving in most soils in zones 4-9. Expect her to reach heights of 15-24”. Deadhead spent blooms to avoid reseeding or let her run naturally and enjoy volunteer plants year after year. Plant Drumstick Allium 3-4” below the soil line.

Drumstick Allium is sold in packs of 10 for fall planting.

Planting Instructions:

Choose an area with good drainage that receives at least 6 hours of sun per day.
Dig planting holes 4 times the height of the bulb and spaced 6-8” apart.
Place bulbs with points facing upward, and then gently pack the soil over the bulb.
Water once and then not again till spring.
