Violet Beauty has lovely dome-shaped flower heads, made up of soft lavender-blue flowers, quite late in flower, often not opening till the end of June depending on the weather. One of the few alliums with a vanilla scent. It always does well with us; we have some in a flower bed, and it has been there three years, plus it doesn't seem to mind part shade. needs a good free-draining soil or compost.

We start shipping bulbs in late September -early October.
