Allium ‘Nigrum’ bulbs, also known as ‘Black Garlic’, grow into striking clusters of small creamy-white flowers with a green centre. Growing on a tall, sturdy stem, the pollen-rich flowers not only look beautiful but are a great way to attract bees, butterflies and a wide range of beneficial insects into your garden.
This versatile allium looks beautiful in almost any type of garden, from a more traditional cottage theme to modern and contemporary structural spaces. Plant them at the front or centre of a sun-trapped border or scatter them in drifts with other Alliums and grasses to achieve a natural aesthetic. These unfussy flowers will return year after year with a display that gets bigger and better. These pretty white globes also work well as fresh cut and dried flowers around the home and create a long-lasting display.
Effortless to grow, simply find a bright and sunny spot in your garden in free draining soil and you will enjoy many years of charming floral displays.
