Allium ceasium Zamin
Allium ceasium Zamin
The most gorgeous blue allium we've found! The pale sky-blue florets with darker mid-veins form 4" globes atop sturdy 20" stems. Blooming in June, Allium ceasium Zamin adds refreshing color to flower bulb gardens and mixed perennial beds. Pollinators love it. We have a limited supply of this unusual allium, so order early. Easy to grow and tolerant of poor garden soil, alliums are some of the last of the spring-blooming bulbs to bloom. When planted with daffodils and tulips, they draw the eye away from fading bulb foliage. The flowers are also excellent for fresh and dried cut-floral displays. Deer tend to avoid.

A whimsical touch to my rock garden
Verified Buyer
I planted these close together and supported them with rocks. The effect is a bunch of fuzzy blue balloons.
1/2 didn't come up and 1/2 Didn't bloom
The foliage came up on five of them but didn't bloom. Maybe next year. The other five didn't come up at all. Everything planted around them came up and thrived and was so disappointing when you have landscaped flowers planned but get nothing.
Merchant Response

Fortunately, our plants are covered under a No-Risk Guarantee. One of our Customer Care agents will be reaching out to you soon with a positive resolution.
hard to find color
Verified Buyer
I appreciate the hard to find color.
wrong allium
I thought I'd gotten lucky, since there were a lot more than 10 bulbs in the bag, and nearly 20 bloomed. Unfortunately, they weren't the advertised allium at all, but a much smaller variety (globes of 1-2 inches, and sort of a purple-blue color).
Merchant Response
Thank you for sharing your review with us. We're sorry to hear the Allium ceasium Zamin were not as advertised and it appears we could have shipped the wrong item. In looking at your order, we could find no evidence of mis-shipment. However, mislabeling or mis-shipment could have happened.
Puny and pathetic
Verified Buyer
Of the 5 I planted, one came up, it was puny and a waste of money.
Merchant Response
Oh No, this is not good at all! We were sorry to hear only one Allium ceasium Zamin grew and it was puny and pathetic. This is not the experience we want for our gardening customers and we are delighted to let you know our merchandise is guaranteed! We will be reaching out to you with a positive resolution.
Thumbs down
Verified Buyer
They didn't even come up! Very disappointing.
Merchant Response
We were sorry to hear the Allium ceasium Zamin failed to grow in your garden. We are gardeners as well and we can relate to the disappointment felt when bulbs do not grow. We are delighted to let you know we guarantee our merchandise and we will be reaching out to you with a positive resolution. We appreciate the feedback!
I already bought two of these products.
I think these are beautiful in color. Along with the purple they impact all the other flowers in the garden.

Q&A
Showing 3 out of 3 Questions
- Q
Does the type of soil dictate the color? I see people stating they aren't blue on this site and others that is why I'm asking.
- Asked by Beth
- Verified Reply - AngelaSoil pH doesn't affect the color of Allium as it does with Hydrangeas. However, sun exposure and other environmental factors can cause color variations. 'Blue' colors in flowers always lean towards lavender or purplish.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Under "Light Requirements" it says Full Sun... under Growing Tips further down on the page it says "Plant in full shade"... which is it? Also what is the recommended fertilizer?
- Asked by pfb
- Verified Reply - ViciI am sorry for the misinformation. This plant should be planted in full sun. Thank you for catching our mistake. We will work to get this corrected. I would recommend Van Bourgondien Natural Bulb Food. Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Does allium rebloom if the flowers are cut?
- Asked by Dottie
- Verified Reply - ViciAllium does not rebloom if the flowers are cut but removing spent flowers allows the foliage to send all of its energy to the bulbs for the next season.Was this answer helpful to you
