Know before you buy

Plant each bulb at a depth of 6 inches. For the best visual impact and healthy growth, space them 5 to 6 inches apart.
White Giant Alliums are hardy in zones 4 through 9. They are a perennial variety, meaning they are designed to return year after year in these regions.
Yes, Alliums are part of the onion family, which gives them a natural scent and taste that deer and rabbits typically avoid. They are an excellent choice for gardens prone to animal browsing.
Absolutely. Because of their height and dramatic blooms, they make a striking statement in large containers, provided the pot has adequate drainage.
While they perform best in full sun, they are adaptable and will also thrive in partial shade. Ensure they receive enough light to support their 3 to 4-foot height.
