The flowers attract pollinators, such as bees, and are great for cutting or leaving in the garden as an architectural feature even after they’ve dried out. This variety is ideal for adding structure and height to garden borders, rock gardens, or mixed beds. Planting these bulbs in groups will provide a dramatic effect when they bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures of \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(178, 34, 34); font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAllium Christophii:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eBotanical Name: Allium Christophii\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eCommon Name: Star of Persia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003ePack Size: 6 bulbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eBulb Size: 10\/12 cm circumference\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eFlower Color: Metallic lilac-purple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eBloom Time: Late spring to early summer (May to June)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eHeight: 18-24 inches (45-60 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003ePlanting Depth: About 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eSpacing: Space bulbs about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) apart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eLight Requirement: Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eSoil: Well-drained soil; prefers sandy or loamy soil types\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eHardiness Zones: Zones 4-8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eDeer Resistance: Yes, Alliums are generally deer and rodent-resistant\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allied Irish Growers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53976534679881,"sku":"AIAC0PP","price":2.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/0654\/7529\/files\/allium-christophii-6-bulbs.webp?v=1772707509","url":"https:\/\/www.kennedys.ie\/products\/allium-christophii2","provider":"Kennedy's Home and Garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
