Allium 'Twinkling Stars' bears large heads packed with star-shaped, pink-purple flowers. It's ideal for growing in sunny borders in well-drained soil, and makes an impressive cut flower.

For best results, plant bulbs in fertile, well-drained soil up to three times their diameter. Grow Allium 'Twinkling Stars' 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.
