A classy and classic cultivar - Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ produces densely clustered globes of glowing, deep-violet blooms, held aloft on straight and elegant stems.  It is the variety which we perhaps envision most when we think of this early summer beauty.

Winner of an esteemed Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ is an ever-popular variety for good reason.  Reliable, charming and extremely attractive to pollinators. 

Plant the bulbs in borders or large containers where they can settle in and naturalise, providing an enhanced display year after year during May and June.  Looks brilliant with lush foliage plants such as Hostas and Ferns which act as an interesting, complementary understorey and help to hide any fading Allium foliage.

Top size bulbs by de Jager in 9 cm pots, ready to be sent out in early February.

Care Guide

Plant in rich, well-drained soil. Larger bulbs should be planted 10cm deep and the smaller ones 5cm deep; they may be left undisturbed for many years.

    Discovered growing in a garden in the Tyne Valley in the 1950s, Crocosmia ‘Emily Mckenzie’ has since become a firm favourite. Large flowering variety growing to between 50 - 70 cm.

    With sprays of showy, star-shaped flowers dancing from arching stems, this variety provides height, movement, and colour for your late summer and autumn display. Unfurling from clusters of node-like buds, each vibrant petal is rusty orange with a dark mahogany throat.

    ‘Emily Mackenzie’ is a compact variety – easier to contain than some of its cousins – and the wiry stems are self-supporting. Crocosmia ‘Emily Mckenzie’ is long-lasting in the garden and as a cut flower, where it can last up to two weeks in the vase.
