Allium Bulbs — Bulbes d’Allium | Evergreen

Allium bulbs (Bulbes d’Allium) are a stunning addition to any garden, known for their unique spherical blooms that add elegance and structure to landscapes. These ornamental plants belong to the onion family and are admired for their long-lasting flowers, vibrant colors, and ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. At Evergreen, we believe in sustainable gardening, and Alliums perfectly align with our mission of promoting biodiversity and eco-friendly landscaping.

Why Grow Allium Bulbs?

Alliums are hardy perennials that require minimal maintenance, making them an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners. They thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, blooming in late spring to early summer. Their tall, striking flower heads add height and texture to garden beds, borders, and rock gardens. With varieties like Allium giganteum, Allium sphaerocephalon, and Allium neapolitanum, you can enjoy a spectrum of colors, from deep purples and blues to soft whites and pinks.

Planting and Care

For the best results, plant Allium bulbs in autumn before the first frost. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil to prevent rot. Space the bulbs according to their size — larger varieties need about 8–12 inches apart, while smaller ones can be planted closer together. Once established, Alliums require little watering, as they are drought-tolerant. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally to nourish the bulbs for the next growing season.

Sustainable Gardening with Alliums

At Evergreen, we encourage eco-friendly gardening practices, and Alliums play a vital role in supporting biodiversity. Their nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators, essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems. Additionally, Alliums are naturally deer and rodent-resistant, reducing the need for chemical repellents and pesticides. Their resilience makes them an ideal choice for organic and sustainable gardens.

Versatile and Decorative

Whether planted in flower beds, containers, or meadows, Alliums create a dramatic visual impact. Their dried seed heads can also be used in floral arrangements, adding beauty beyond the growing season. Combining Alliums with perennials like lavender, salvia, or ornamental grasses enhances their aesthetic appeal and ensures a continuous bloom cycle in your garden.

With Evergreen’s premium-quality Allium bulbs, you can transform your outdoor space into a vibrant, pollinator-friendly haven while contributing to a greener planet. Plant Alliums this season and enjoy their breathtaking blooms for years to come! 🌿💜
