Allium tripedale stands as a true gem in late spring and early summer with an abundance of pendulous bells adorned with rose-pink and white stripes, creating a captivating candy cane effect. The infusion of vivid green at their hearts and the gracefully pointed petals bestow upon them a serious sense of style while their fragrance, reminiscent of garlic, emanates from keeled basal leaves, adding another layer of charm to these botanical treasures.
Bulbs can be planted 15cm deep and 15cm apart. Pot-grown plants can be enjoyed as they are while in bloom, but as the flowers fade, they should either be potted up or planted out in the garden. Avoid excessive mositure when the plants become dormant (from late summer) and lift and divide over-large clumps in autumn or spring.
