Ornamental Mix 'Purple-White' – 30 flower bulbs (bulb size 10/12)

These 30 ornamental onion bulbs 'Purple-White' will add purple and white 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 flower heads remain decorative. Bulb size 10/12 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
