{"product_id":"col-bulb-all-nig-10","title":"Allium Nigrum (Ornamental Onion) – White Late Spring Flowering Allium (Bag of 10 Bulbs)","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou receive 10 dry bulbs in a bag, ready to plant. They are not growing plants. The photos show the flowers in bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllium nigrum, also sold as Black Garlic or White Ornamental Onion, is an easy ornamental allium with large, domed flowerheads of creamy white star-shaped blooms, each with a dark centre. It brings an elegant, naturalistic look to borders and cottage-style planting schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant the dry bulbs in drifts through mixed borders, or alongside other late spring flowering perennials. The flowers appear from late spring into early summer and make good cut flowers. The seedheads keep their ornamental interest well after flowering. Alliums also grow well in pots, and bees and other pollinators visit the flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in autumn in a sunny spot with well-drained soil, spacing the bulbs around 15cm apart for a natural, drifted effect. Let the foliage die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can build up energy for next year. Keep the soil from staying wet through winter, as the bulbs can rot.\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 Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ornamental Onion, Black Garlic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, clump-forming with tall, sturdy stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-90cm tall and 10-15cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borders, cottage gardens, cutting gardens, gravel gardens, pots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broad, strap-like grey-green leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to November\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to May per the library; the supplier gives late spring to early summer (May to June)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 10-15cm deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68152661672156,"sku":"COL-BULB-ALL-NIG-10","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_8b3de249-1c5a-4229-ac5a-cfd275605dad.png?v=1794155108","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-bulb-all-nig-10","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
