Allium 'Atlas' bears large heads of pretty, star-shaped, purple flowers with a green centre, on tall, sturdy stems. It's a fantastic choice for growing in sunny borders, and makes an impressive cut flower, both fresh and dried.
Grow Allium 'Atlas' in well-drained soil in full sun. It's not fully hardy and in colder regions should be mulched, or planted in pots and moved to a frost free area in autumn. For best results, plant bulbs in fertile, well-drained soil up to three times their diameter.
