Delicate, dainty, and quietly spectacular — Allium amplectens ‘Graceful’ lives up to its name with airy globes of starry white blooms. A soft and subtle contrast to the bolder drumstick and giant alliums, ‘Graceful’ brings texture and movement to borders, pots, and bouquets. Each globe is made up of fine, six-petalled flowers with a faint shimmer and a gentle blush at the centre. A magnet for pollinators and a dream for florists looking for a refined, cloud-like shape.

 

When to Plant: September – November (bulbs)

Plant in autumn before the first hard frost, allowing time for the roots to establish before winter. Alliums love well-drained soil and hate wet feet — so raised beds or gravelly borders are perfect.
