Allium Violet Beauty is an elegant ornamental allium producing perfectly rounded flower heads made up of dozens of star-shaped violet-lilac flowers. Lightly fragrant and flowering during May and June, this graceful variety reaches approximately 70cm in height, making it ideal for adding colour, structure and pollinator appeal to borders. Its long-lasting blooms stand proudly above fresh green foliage and blend beautifully with perennials, roses and ornamental grasses.

A favourite for cottage gardens and contemporary planting schemes, Allium Violet Beauty attracts bees and other beneficial pollinators while providing excellent architectural interest. The attractive seed heads continue to add texture to the garden after flowering, making this an easy and rewarding choice for sunny gardens.
