Award winning Allium Summer Drummer is one of the tallest and most dramatic of the ornamental onions available. The huge, grapefruit sized spheres reach up to 30 cm (8 in) across and are made up of hundreds of fragrant, star-shaped florets of purple and white. Each globe sits atop a sturdy green stem reaching as high as 150 cm (60 in) that over time, gradually turns a maroon colour. These showstopping perennials give gardens impactful architectural structure, especially when planted en masse towards the back of mixed borders. Known for attracting butterflies, bees and other pollinators, Allium Summer Drummer naturalizes easily and will come back year after year.
