First year in the ground & all 5 came up!

Jul 20, 2021 | By Darlene O'Neill

These were huge and a beautiful colour, and are thriving in my flower bed. They shot out of the ground this spring and nearly reached the top of my raised deck. They look mature considering this is the first year in the ground. Wish I had ordered more!

A little disappointed

May 23, 2021 | By Ellen

I thought it will be big flowers same as my friienfbin his garden as he also bought it in Brecks and it's not a deep purple color as they describe it in the catalog but still happy that they grow. I think my soil is pretty good cuz the rest of my flowers blooms big.

Awesome!

These huge alliums came up, just as I'd hoped. In fact, they made such an impression on the neighbours, I was asked about the variety, and inspired others to plant them. A good 3' tall, they held their colour for ages. Very happy I bought them. :)

Beautiful colour and holds up to weather

These came in beautiful bright and big. First year planted and towered perfect in my garden.

Persian Blue Allium

Jul 29, 2020 | By Shakera Strassburger

Planted these beauty in fall 2019 and my closest neigbour visited almost every day to enjoy these beauties. All 10 bulbs survived and had up to 2 stalks on some bulbs. I bought more for fall planting. Its a must have!

Beautiful flowers

Jun 2, 2019 | By George K.

I planted these in a raised bed along the south side of my house, and a reclaimed flowerbed. They've been in bloom for a week now, and I couldn't be happier with them.

Lovely Alliums

Jul 28, 2017 | By Judy Beca

These alliums are tall , majestic, and have a gorgeous colour . Would love to have more for the back yard.

Stunning

Jun 15, 2017 | By Judy

These alliums are not blue, as reviewed by others, but they are stunning, light purple, tall and straight. I am hoping to see bablies next year, or else I will buy more for the Back yard.

They are actually purple

Mar 23, 2017 | By Melissa gianetto

Although they are purple and not blue they are still beautiful and easy to care for and come back year after year and the bees love them

Wonderful and unusual

Jul 6, 2015 | By Morrigan F.

These were a lovely surprise - the tallest flower in my late spring bed, hovering over the hyacinths and tulips. Yes, a bit more towards the purple side than the blue, but a gorgeous, rich indigo colour, and the seedheads are a show in themselves. Very strong stems held up even under our wide-open prairie winds.

Very showy flowers

Jul 6, 2013 | By Martine VAUGIEN GADBOIS

True that they were not exactly blue, but rather more purple, those flowers were very nice and stayed quite a while, despite the colour was gone. They stand behind the tulips, because they were much higher.

Persian Blue is more purple than blue

Jul 1, 2013 | By Gail Conlon

These are gorgeous.

Alliums

Jun 20, 2013 | By Julia Elwell

I have had these in my garden for 5 years now. Each Spring more blooms appear. I just love them and they are beautiful for cutting. Magnificent!! I am ordering more this year.

First up in the spring

Jun 17, 2013 | By Linda Storm

This grows very well in Calgary with a south view. Ours have come up three years in a row. I am surprised that not too many people know what they are.

Surprised me

Oct 15, 2012 | By Linda Storm

I am a beginner gardener and my neighbors were so impressed and I was surprised. The bag of bulbs came. I planted them and waited. Then these huge purple balls came up. They stayed passed every tulip and daffy and into July as an ornamental stem unit the wind took it away.

Disappointed

Jul 17, 2012 | By Shelley

I was also disappointed that these flowers were purple-- without even a suggestion of blue. Definitely not named correctly!

Should Read Purple Sensation

Jul 9, 2012 | By Barb Campbell

I was quite disappointed that this was purple. I should have read the fine print :-(
