{"product_id":"col-bulb-all-glo-5","title":"Allium 'Globemaster' (Ornamental Onion) – Giant Purple Flowering Allium (Bag of 5 Bulbs)","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou get 5 dry bulbs of Allium 'Globemaster' in a bag, ready to plant. They are dormant bulbs, not growing plants. The photos show the flowers in bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllium 'Globemaster' is one of the most spectacular ornamental onions you can grow. It produces huge, rich violet-purple globe-shaped flowerheads, typically 20 to 25cm across, on tall, stiff stems. Planted in a group of five, it makes a bold display in spring and early summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flowers stay attractive as they fade and dry, and bees and other pollinators love them. They are also excellent as cut flowers, or left to dry naturally on the stem. The grey-green, strap-like leaves die back as the flowers open, so plant the bulbs through low perennials or grasses to hide the fading foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a spot in full sun with well-drained soil, as the bulbs rot if the ground stays wet through winter. Allium 'Globemaster' is fully hardy in the UK and can be left in the ground all year. It also grows well in pots. Plant in autumn at about three times the depth of the bulb's diameter, and let the foliage die back naturally after flowering. Deadhead the flowerheads or leave them in place for structural interest into summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBulbs are harmful if eaten. Keep away from children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allium spp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ornamental Onion, Giant Allium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 80-100cm tall and 20-25cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, with strap-like leaves and tall stems carrying globe flowerheads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borders, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey-green, strap-like leaves that die back as flowering begins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring to early summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Violet-purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, moderately fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 15-20cm deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to November\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68152656953564,"sku":"COL-BULB-ALL-GLO-5","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_927c0583-87ae-4ee0-88b1-3a283928839b.png?v=1794155016","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-bulb-all-glo-5","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
