The Allium jesdianum 'Early Emperor' is a large allium with big pink-purple flower heads supported by an 80cm flower spike. The Early Emperor is an autumn bulb so does best when planted later in the year. The plant will then bloom a few months later from late spring to early summer.

The Allium jesdianum 'Early Emperor' does best when planted about 10cm deep in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil in a sunny area of the garden. Taller alliums like this one can also benefit from shelter on one side to help prevent the tall flower spikes from being blown over.

Planting Time: September - December

Flowering Time: May - June

Max Height: 80cm
