About Purple Sensation - Allium Bulbs (Tall)

Seed Type Bulb
Plant Type Tall
Also known as Flowering Onion, Ornamental Onion

If you're passionate about purple, the Purple Sensation allium is for you! Dozens of tiny, star-shaped flowers group together to form a big, beautiful globe that sits on top of a sturdy stem that grows up to 3 feet tall. Like all alliums, Purple Sensations are in the onion family and their scent works great at deterring deer and other critters. And they're pollinators, so bees and butterflies love them. Plant these beauties in the fall, and mix them with other late-spring blooms to create a stunning flower bed or border!
