Allium 'Summer Drummer'

A show-stopping allium that grows to spectacular heights!

Blooms mid summer

Get ready for the grand finale! Just as other alliums are fading, ‘Summer Drummer’, the tallest and latest-flowering of all alliums, bursts into bloom with white and lavender puffballs reaching up to 6’ tall. Great for tall, sunny borders where you can watch pollinators forage at eye-level. The seed heads remain attractive as they dry, adding a sculptural element to the garden.
Blooms in late July/August. Naturalizes, and is deer and rodent resistant.

Alliums do best in full sun to partial shade. They require a well-drained soil. Water in well after planting, beyond that normal rainfall should be sufficient. 
Allium bulbs should be planted 1-2 times as deep as the diameter of the bulb.
Bulbs should be kept cool until ready to plant, and planted in fall at least a month before the ground freezes.
