Allium hollandicum

Description from Sarah Raven

The best all round garden and flower arranging allium. ‘Purple Sensation’ starts to flower after the tulips in mid-May.
I’ll pick flowers and then beautiful green bead-like seed heads until the end of July and I use them to decorate the tree at Christmas – simply cut them, then dry and spray silver.
No early summer garden is complete without a good drift of these.
