Purple Sensation
| Note: Bulbs ship starting in October based on availability and your zone, unlike other products. Plant around or after your first frost but before the ground freezes. |
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.
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.
