These 60 ornamental onion bulbs, Allium 'Purple Sensation', will add purple colour to your garden or patio from May through June. Ornamental onions bear round flower heads on tall stems and are a popular source of nectar for bees and butterflies. Suitable for borders among perennials, gravel gardens and large pots; the spent bulbs remain decorative. Bulb size 10/12 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
