Rosy Dream Allium
Brighten your late spring garden with the Rosy Dream Allium, featuring soft lilac-pink, spherical blooms that add architectural interest alongside early spring flowers. These charming bulbs reach 14-16 inches tall and are excellent for mass plantings or as striking cut flowers, even drying well for bouquets. A significant benefit is their resistance to deer, rabbits, and squirrels, while actively attracting beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies. Plant them in well-drained soil in a sunny location. For container gardening, ensure they are protected from intense freezing during winter before bringing them out in spring.
