Product description

Allium Mount Everest brings a striking architectural touch to the garden, sending up tall, slender stems topped with large white globes made of dozens of tiny star shaped flowers. This elegant Ornamental Onion stands out beautifully in mixed borders, adding height, structure, and a clean, modern look that pairs effortlessly with perennials and grasses. Its bright, spherical blooms create a luminous focal point that draws the eye without overwhelming the planting scheme.

These bulbs are easy to grow and thrive in a bright, sunny position in well drained soil. Plant them in autumn, allowing time for strong root growth before winter sets in. Once established, they need very little attention - just occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. After flowering, let the foliage die back naturally so the bulb can store energy for the following year. With minimal care, Allium Mount Everest returns reliably each spring, producing a dependable and beautifully sculptural display.

These bulbs are supplied at a size of 18-20.

Instructions

Top Tip

Leave Allium seed heads standing once the blooms fade - they dry into beautiful sculptural forms that add interest well into autumn.

How to Water

Water Allium bulbs sparingly after planting to help them settle into the soil, then leave them to establish naturally over winter. In spring, give them an occasional drink during long dry spells to support strong stem and flower development.

How to Plant

Plant Allium bulbs in autumn in well‑drained soil, setting each one at a depth roughly three times its own height with the pointed tip facing upwards. Space them about 15–-20cm apart so each bulb has room to develop tall, upright stems without crowding.
