Mediterranean Bells
Mediterranean Bells offer a stunning spring garden display with their unique, bell-shaped blooms in cream and purple. These Alliums grow about 3 feet tall, creating a beautiful backdrop for other late spring flowers and bridging the gap between tulip and peony seasons. For maximum impact, plant bulbs close together, allowing companion perennials to help conceal their base. These ornamental flowering onions are captivating and add a touch of elegance to any garden setting, making them a delightful addition for any flower enthusiast.

What customers say
Customers highly value the Mediterranean Bells for their unique aesthetic, vibrant color, and sophisticated cascading shape that enhances garden landscapes. The quality of the bulbs upon arrival is frequently praised; they are typically healthy and well-packaged. While the mature plants offer a stunning display, some gardeners experience initial establishment or germination difficulties, often linked to specific climate or soil conditions. A recurring point is the need for patience, as first year results can be underwhelming before the plants truly flourish in subsequent seasons. For those willing to manage initial planting hurdles and site selection carefully, the resulting beauty makes these bells a worthwhile investment for creating a unique focal point.
