Allium Summer Drummer
Summer Drummer has a unique colour combination – red, violet and white. This gorgeous allium attracts the most attention because it shows up when most of other flowers are at the end of their season. Summer Drummer starts blooming between July and August and grows tall and proud (130-180 cm).
Allium belongs to the same family as garlic and onion, that is why it’s called an “ornamental onion”. Make sure to plant your allium in a dry and well-drained (sandy) soil and open areas with full sun.
