Allium Cowanii
M5004
Fast becoming a florist favourite, Allium ‘Cowanii’ produces loose umbels of delicate white, star shaped blooms in May. The flowers also smell sweet, rather than oniony, as you might otherwise expect from a member of the Allium family.
Sometimes known as Allium Neapolitanum, this charming cultivar is easy to grow and looks best in snowy drifts, weaving through the front of a border where it will take your garden seamlessly from spring, into summer.
The bulbs of Allium ’Cowanii’ may also be grown in pots of fertile, very well-drained soil.
A space in full sun is best reserved for this pollinator-friendly spring gem.
Care Guide
Plant in rich, well-drained soil.
The larger bulbs should be planted 10cm (4”) deep and the smaller ones 5cm (2”) deep; they may be left undisturbed for many years.
