Description
Allium Millennium is a gorgeous perennial that delivers a bold splash of color and texture to the landscape. In mid-to-late summer, it bursts into bloom with a stunning display of vibrant, rose-purple globe-shaped flowers held high above clumps of fresh, glossy green foliage. These long-lasting blooms add structure, color, and a polished look that stands out beautifully in borders, foundation plantings, and mixed perennial beds. Not only is it one of the finest flowering alliums for extended seasonal interest, but it also attracts butterflies and pollinators, bringing added movement and freshness to the scene.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun
- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots; once established, needs only occasional watering during extended dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch to help retain soil moisture and reduce weed competition
- Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms if desired to tidy appearance; cut back foliage in late fall after it dies back
With its vibrant blooms, tidy foliage, and reliable performance, Allium Millennium is a refreshing, low-maintenance standout that brings structure and color into full bloom when most summer perennials begin to fade.
