Comment |
Clump-forming Allium pulchellum is native to the Mediterranean region and is an excellent cut flower. "A lovely pure white form of Allium pulchellum carinatum. Quite slow to increase. Lovely addition to the rockery. Height 12 inches" from RV Roger. Looks good growing through Artemesia schmidtiana 'Nana'. Plant in containers or in drifts in the rock garden or border with Heuchera 'Dale's Strain', Sedum 'Oktoberfest' and Talinum calycinum. Plant at 4 inch depth with an inch of fine grit under them for drainage and 12 inches apart. Never plant at perfectly measured distances apart as this looks artificial - plant in clumps of 5, 7 or 9 in a staggered group so that they look more natural when they flower. Available from Norwell Nurseries , R. V. Roger and B & T World Seeds in USA. |
