Allium Insubricum AGM

Description

Large clusters of deep pink flowers.

This is by far one of my most desirable bulbs our stock plants are over 20yrs old and make a magnificent display every year. With bell flowers up to 3cm long this bulb just gets better with age. The foliage is insignificant which makes this even more attractive when flowering.  We hope you get as much enjoyment from these as we do. Perfect for the Alpine rock garden, scree and containers.

We sell these as individual bulbs at the age of flowering (approximately 4-5 years from seed).
