Allium 'Powder Puff' is a short allium with a huge, violet-purple flowerhead. It's a fantastic choice for growing in patio pots or at the front of sunny borders. It also makes a stunning cut flower.
For best results, plant bulbs in fertile, well-drained soil up to three times their diameter. Grow in Allium 'Powder Puff' 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.
