Allium nigrum
Allium nigrum
Amazing alliums are just the ticket when livening up sunny spots in the summer landscape. Allium nigrum, features highly distinctive bloom clusters of white flowers with deep green eyes. Each well-formed 5.5-6" orb sits atop a sturdy, 24-32" stem that makes a wonderful showing in borders, beds and bouquets. Site them in full sun and well-drained soil and they'll reward the happy homeowners with plenty of dependably showy blooms that are quite unique. Alliums are tolerant of many soil types, resistant to deer and easy to grow. They naturalize nicely, reliably reappearing year after year with renewed vigor. The flowers are a favorite of pollinators.

Very Pretty
Verified Buyer
Tall and beautiful. They look like snowballs on a stick. Every bulb came up.
Vigorous long-lasting blooms
These alliums came up with vigorous blooms that lasted nearly 4 weeks (mid-May through mid-June). Where I'd planted them on a south-facing bed coming up through some dying daffodils, they leaned out in a whimsical fashion - if you want them to grow up straight, an open location might work better!
Nice Spring/Early Summer Show
Verified Buyer
Easy and beautiful.
Crop failure
Verified Buyer
Failed to grow, never saw a single allium from this variety.
Great bulb
First thing to come up in my garden. Every single one made it. I cant wait to see them bloom
