Planting and Growing Information
Plant Allium 'Purple Sensation' bulbs in fall, approximately 4-6 inches deep and 6-8 inches apart in well-drained soil. This hardy cultivar thrives in USDA zones 4-9 and prefers full sun to light shade. Flowering occurs in late spring to early summer (May-June), bridging the gap between spring bulbs and summer perennials. The foliage naturally dies back as flowers develop, so strategic placement among emerging perennials helps conceal yellowing leaves.
