- Other Details
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 4-11. 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.
