Ornamental onion Purple Sensation (Allium) is a real eye-catcher: imposing, spherical flower heads in deep purple that stand out like stars above the greenery. The plant blooms in May and June, just when many other spring bulbs have already finished flowering, thus extending the colourful period in your planter. Allium is also an excellent bee plant. The bulbs are of top quality (bulb size 10/12).

Why this plant is suitable for your balcony
This allium grows on a long, sturdy stem (60–80 cm) that takes up little floor space, creating a striking vertical accent even on a small balcony. The bulbs love full sun, which balconies often have in abundance. Winter hardy as they are, the bulbs can withstand the cold of a pot on an open balcony without extra protection.
