Allium Miami is a spectacular ornamental allium that produces masses of striking spiky flower heads in rich purple-pink shades, creating a bold architectural display in late spring and early summer. Flowering from May to June, each large flower head is made up of dozens of star-shaped florets, bringing height, texture and vibrant colour to borders while adding movement and interest to the garden.

With its tall stems and distinctive blooms, Allium Miami is perfect for planting among perennials and ornamental grasses, where it provides a dramatic focal point. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, while the long-lasting blooms also make excellent cut flowers for fresh or dried arrangements.

Aftercare
Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can replenish their energy for the following season. Leave the decorative seed heads in place to provide lasting architectural interest, or remove them for use in dried flower arrangements. Established bulbs can remain undisturbed for many years, producing reliable displays each spring.
