‘Little Sapphire’ Flowering Onion Allium

Allium 12" tall. Round dense clusters of deep purple star-shaped flowers held above tidy upright clumps of strappy glossy grey-green foliage. Sweet-scented blooms make great cutflowers or dried winter arrangements whether you cut them before or after the green seed pods form. Attracts beneficial insects with its sweet nectar yet repels an array of undesirables—slithery, winged and legged pests alike—including deer. Only if crushed will the plants smell like an onion.

Adds rugged charm and vertical structure to herb and rock gardens. If you planted Millenium last year, you’ll want to try this little gem next, which blooms just a bit later in mid to late summer. Z4.

Additional Information

Achillea

Blooms June through September featuring 2–3" flat-topped flowerheads. Ferny green foliage is aromatic when crushed. Excellent filler for fresh and dried arrangements. Prompt removal of faded flowerheads guarantees a long season of blooms. Colors can fade out in extreme humidity but regular cutting will keep the blooms looking bright and fresh. It’s a sweet and easy early morning task to walk the yarrow path and cut quick bouquets. Plant 12–24" apart in well-drained soil, full sun to part shade.

Herbaceous Perennial Plants

When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock immediately. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. Surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. Store plants in their packaging in a cool (35–40°) location until you are ready to plant. If it’s going to be awhile, you can pot up your perennials.

Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors before danger of frost has passed. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.
