Allium Stipitatum 'White Giant'

‘White Giant’ is an imposing ornamental onion, sending up strong green stems to carry dense white globes packed with hundreds of star-shaped flowers. The heads, often 10–15 cm across, appear in early summer above broad grey-green leaves that naturally fade as flowering begins. Its clean colour and height make it an elegant alternative to purple giant alliums, especially among grasses, silver foliage and darker perennials. Rich in nectar and excellent for cutting, it also leaves bold spherical seed heads. Plant in open sun and free-draining soil, where the bulbs can bake during summer dormancy.
