Named after the Germanic spring goddess Eostre, Allium ‘Ostara’ is a striking ornamental onion that brings bold colour and structure to the garden. Its deep reddish-purple, spherical flower heads are held proudly on strong, stocky stems, perfectly contrasted by wide green leaves that remain fresh and lush throughout the flowering season. Compact yet impactful, ‘Ostara’ is ideal for borders, containers, and mixed displays, adding both height and vibrancy in late spring to early summer.

This variety is not only eye-catching but also hardy and easy to grow, thriving in well-drained, fertile soil. Perfect for pollinator-friendly gardens, Allium ‘Ostara’ will attract bees and butterflies while providing long-lasting colour and interest.

Plant bulbs in autumn in a sunny or semi-shaded spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Space bulbs approximately 10–15cm apart. Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to replenish the bulb for the following year. Minimal care is required once established, and clumps can be divided every few years if overcrowded.
