Summer Drummer® Allium has huge 6", purple-and-white flowers on stems growing up to 70" tall. Blooming in July - August, this allium will attract pollinators to your garden but not deer.

Good color and size contrast

They grew so tall . Needed to stake Look great popping Up behind my Hydragenas
All came up.
I planted over a hundred. Was a bit scared they wouldn't come up because of the reviews on here. I'm in zone 8a North Carolina and planted them late October. They have now started to bloom. I love how tall they are and see them through my windows.

No luck
Verified Buyer
Never sprouted. I planted all three allium in the same bed only 5 Glob masters grew
did not come back
My second year, only 1 grew. I'm going to buy again, and hope for a better turnout.
3 season interest
one of the finest alliums i have ever grown! i planted in sept and by nov there were mounds of healthy strap-like leaves followed by stems in feb and then a long stage of gradual bloom that didn't stop until july. very tall and sturdy and gorgeous in every stage of growth. they need full sun to do well.
Great way to add height and long lasting color
Verified Buyer
I bought a few of these last year and they have come up beautifully this year! Seems they stay in bloom for a very long time. No staking needed yet as of mid July. I love them!
Disappointing
They are on their second year now and still have not bloomed. The foliage looks identical to the other customers images and is just starting to die back now (late-may). The foliage does look different from other varieties of allium but certainly smells like an allium. Most likely going to dig them up because they are just wasted space in the garden right now.
