Allium amethystinum 'Forelock' is a special ornamental onion with a striking and playful character. This large-flowered Allium distinguishes itself through its unique flowering pattern and distinctive color gradient. The flowers open intensely green and slowly change color during bloom to deep wine-red and maroon hues. What makes this ornamental onion truly unique is the striking tuft of protruding florets atop the flower, creating a playful and almost exotic effect. The white stamens become increasingly visible during flowering, eventually giving the flower a subtle white haze.

The flowers stand on sturdy stems with a natural, sometimes slightly twisted growth habit. This gives Allium 'Forelock' an informal and graceful appearance in borders and natural plantings. The height varies, but on average, this ornamental onion reaches approximately 70 cm. The flowering period falls in June and July, when the striking flowers attract plenty of bees and butterflies. Additionally, this Allium is highly resistant to deer and rodents, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens.

Allium amethystinum 'Forelock' grows best in a sunny or partially shaded location in well-draining soil. Plant the bulbs at a depth of approximately 15 cm with a spacing of 12 to 25 cm between them. For abundant flowering, plant approximately 30 bulbs per square meter. Thanks to the 12/14 bulb size, you are assured of healthy and strong plants.

This ornamental onion is excellently suited as a cut flower and gives bouquets a striking, architectural appearance. Furthermore, Allium 'Forelock' is fully winter hardy and suitable for machine planting. Each pack contains 25 high-quality bulbs with which you can easily create a spectacular effect in the garden.
