Allium Mercurius
M5033
Rounded umbels brim with tightly packed violet-pink florets, standing tall in June sunlight. Allium Mercurius are striking when grouped, exceptional as an accent.
Plant in free-draining soil with full sun for bold vertical effect. Drought-tolerant once established, this allium attracts pollinators while adding architectural flair to borders.
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.
