Description
Late spring can leave the garden looking comparatively dull after the early explosion of color that follows winter, but not if you have alliums to bridge the gap between spring and summer. Allium unifolium 'Eros', named after the Greek god of love, and sporting rounded heads of lilac-pink blooms, are sure to give your flower display a romantic touch. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil and remember that you don’t need to lift the dormant bulbs. A busy life and a beautiful flower garden don’t have to be mutually exclusive when you choose the right flower bulbs, and Allium 'Eros' is a sure-fire winner!
