Playful flower head: round, dark purple to almost black. A funny green tuft of flowers sits on top. This is not a classic allium, but an eye-catcher. June to August, on stems up to 1.5 metres. Allium Forelock is a relatively recent introduction to the market. You see at once why it stands out. That 'tuft' on top makes it playful rather than solemn. The English name is spot-on. Dark purple with green tones, compact-built but generous with flowers. Under ideal conditions (full sun, rich well-draining soil) it grows substantially tall. Perfect as a cut flower, and if you leave it, it stands beautifully for months. Unexpected, witty, and grown-up all at once. The Jester. A punk-allium with a green quiff. The bulbs come from the Dutch bulb fields. Hand selected for quality and size, and delivered at the right planting time. A larger bulb holds more food, and you see that in the flower: more blooms, and fuller. We offer our 100% Bloom Guarantee. Show more
