Description
Alliums are in the same family as garlic, onions, chives, and shallots. This makes gardeners wonder if they should include them in their ornamental gardening plans, as it conjures up images of supermarket produce. But because good garden designs are often made up of different shapes, Alliums rounded blooms make for high drama and interest in the garden. The Allium group gets more popular annually, from over 300 species to choose. They amaze everyone, and few plants create this kind of wow in the garden. Allium Purple sensation produces silver green, basal leaves which die by flowering time. The bloom carries numerous star-shaped, purplish pink flowers in a dense, spherical umbel. Excellent nectar source for pollinators. Plant about 9 bulbs per square feet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for more perennials to plant in my garden. I saw these beautiful purple flowers and knew I had to have them. I planted the bulbs recently with no problem at all. I can’t wait until the spring to see them grow and bloom
Healthy, beautiful bulbs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Van Zyverden Allium Purple Sensation bulbs came nicely packaged to keep them protected. These bulbs were very healthy looking. I was able to plant all of them! Other companies have sent me rotten, non usable bulbs, but the Van Zyverden bulbs were strong and in great condition! There were 12 bulbs in this set, so I am very excited to see how beautiful they come up in the spring! I appreciate the informative card that came with these bulbs!
Stunning addition to my garden boxes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited about these bulbs. The Allium Purple sensations are so beautiful. They are gonna look so good in my side garden off my patio. They will be fun to show off to my guest. The best thing about these is you don’t have to have high quality soil for them to grow. And they are very easy to plant. Just dig a hole, space out and throw in the bulbs, cover and water. Can’t be any easier. Then you just sit back and wait for them to bloom. Like I said, I am so excited.
Preparing for a Colorful Spring!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just moved into a new home, and one of the first things we decided to do was rip out the landscaping. I have never planted bulbs before, but fell in love with how these will hopefully look! Can’t wait for spring to see how they look

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how purple allium looks in flower gardens. They are a beautiful standout kind of flower. These bulbs looked healthy upon arrival and were the correct number. I planted them in a couple different spots in my yard to see where they grow best. Looking forward to when they start growing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They were packaged really well to protect from damage. Came with a really nice card explaining how and where to plant. It helped me decide where to put them because they need really well drained soil because as they say they don’t like wet feet. Looking forward to seeing them bloom.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have planted my Purple Sensations and awaiting them to bloom. I have seen this flower bloom before, and it is very beautiful. The deep purple makes a yard a wonderful sight see. They are wonderful as borders or just to plant alone.
The 12 bulbs are healthy in appearance and feel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bulbs resemble a large garlic. They arrived intact for the most part. The 12 bulbs were healthy in appearance and feel; they were all firm and covered with a papery skin. Planting instructions were on the package label. I have had these plants many years ago and recall that it is best to plant these in clusters, 6 inches apart in a triangle-like grouping. These purple beauties remind me of large pom-pom balls. Purple is my favorite color and seeing these again had me reminiscing of their show-stopping characteristic which become a conversation piece for those admiring from a distance. I cannot wait for these to make their appearance next spring next to my bearded irises! They are unique and will add a pop of color to flower beds after a long, bland winter here in PA.
Healthy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Allium purple sensation bulbs are bigger than I thought they would be. I am looking forward to planting them when the season is perfect in my climate here. If you have never seen how beautiful these blooms are, please check them out. The packaging is in a perfect mesh bag that airs them so they are dry enough to last until planting.
