The best way to boost a garden's impact is to add something unexpected to the design. Silver Spring Allium makes the perfect focal point planting thanks to its unique flower form and an eye-catching colorway. From May to June, sparkling globes of bright white florets with blueberry-purple centers create a stunning presentation in sun-filled borders or mixed cutting gardens. When the sun hits these pretty, round flower heads, they take on a shimmering silver hue. Silver Spring makes an outstanding cut flower and really makes an impact in fresh arrangements. Plant in well-drained soil for best results.
