They are not growing plants and do not come in pots. The photos show the flowers in bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllium 'Schubertii' is a spectacular ornamental onion, famous for its huge, flattened starburst heads made up of dozens of star-shaped flowers on stalks of different lengths. It is a real talking point in a sunny border and a favourite with bees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant the bulbs in autumn in well-drained soil and a sunny spot, and they flower in late spring to early summer. They are fully hardy in the UK and also grow well in pots. Choose a position with good drainage, because the bulbs rot if the soil stays wet through winter. Leave the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb can build up its strength. The flower heads dry well and are good for cutting.\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\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ornamental Onion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allium spp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 30-40cm tall and 10-15cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, clump-forming bulb with strap-like foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunny borders, containers, cut flowers, pollinator planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately two to three times the height of the bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68152657314012,"sku":"COL-BULB-ALL-SCH-5","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_c0278284-28a1-4fab-85c7-f925413c6c69.png?v=1794155022","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-bulb-all-sch-5","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
