Allium Christophii (Pot Size 1L) Bulbs in Pots sold by Boma Garden Centre

Allium christophii, commonly known as the Star of Persia, is an ornamental onion that brings a burst of colour and architectural beauty to any UK garden. Renowned for its large, spherical heads consisting of up to 100 star-shaped, violet flowers, this allium makes a dramatic statement when in bloom. The metallic sheen of the petals catches the light, creating a stunning display from late spring to early summer.The Star of Persia is a superb choice for adding structure and colour contrast in flower borders and beds. It pairs wonderfully with other late spring bloomers such as irises and peonies. Due to its height and distinctive flower heads, it also works well as a focal point in gravel gardens or amongst ornamental grasses. Besides its visual appeal, it’s a magnet for pollinators, adding a lively buzz to the garden. After blooming, the seed heads provide continued architectural interest and can be used in dried flower arrangements.
