Can you say amazing? The beautiful blooms on the Globemaster allium reach up to 8 inches across! Each bloom contains dozens of purple star-shaped flowers, and the shades of purple change with the light. Mesmerizing! Plant Globemasters in clumps of 10 or more bulbs in the fall, and by late spring your garden will be a showstopper. The blooms can last until late summer, and the ornamental seed heads will stay around for weeks after the flower has gone. Like most alliums, Globemasters are sun-loving and, being part of the onion family, give off a scent that keeps pests away. They are great pollinators—bees and butterflies love them!
