Description
DESCRIPTION: Allium giganteum ‘Ambassador’ is a majestic and commanding presence in any garden, known for its towering height and deep purple, perfectly spherical flower heads. Among the tallest of the ornamental alliums, it can reach up to 120 to 150 centimetres in height, making it an ideal choice for adding vertical interest and architectural structure to borders and perennial beds. Its flowers are densely packed globes of violet-purple, rich in tone and elegant in form, that bloom in late spring to early summer, typically from May into June depending on the climate. This variety thrives in full sun, where it can develop strong stems and vibrant blooms. A well-drained soil is essential for its success, as bulbs are prone to rot in overly moist conditions. Once planted, preferably in autumn, the bulbs benefit from a cold period during winter, which supports healthy root development and a robust flowering season. Though it is possible to propagate Allium giganteum from seed, germination is slow and unpredictable, often taking several months and requiring specific cold stratification. For this reason, gardeners usually plant bulbs rather than rely on seeds. When in bloom, ‘Ambassador’ makes a bold statement, often drawing the attention of pollinators as well as human admirers. Even after flowering, the seed heads remain decorative, adding texture and interest well into summer. Its stately form, combined with a relatively low-maintenance nature, has made it a favourite among garden designers looking to blend drama with elegance.

HOW TO GROW: Plant the bulbs about 15-20 cm deep in full sun, either in pots or directly in the ground. Space the bulbs approximately 15 cm apart.
