Summer Drummer Allium Bulbs Care & Information

Add Excitement With Summer Drummer Allium Bulbs

Looking to add some bold vertical drama to your garden? The 5-pack of Summer Drummer Allium might just be your star player! This Allium is known for its impressive height, often growing up to 6 feet tall! It produces large, round flower heads filled with small purple and white star-shaped blooms. These flowers appear in early summer, adding dramatic vertical interest to your garden with ease.

Why You'll Love Summer Drummer Allium

  • Statement Piece: Its sturdy stems and fun texture make Summer Drummer a standout in any garden, even as a backdrop for shorter plants.
  • Pollinator Magnet: Bees and butterflies love these flowers, turning your garden into a buzzing hub of life.
  • Low Maintenance: Like most alliums, Summer Drummer thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, needing very little care once established.
  • Simply to Grow: This allium is deer and rabbit resistant and rarely affected by diseases, making it an effortless garden choice.

Where to Plant

Perfect for borders, cottage gardens, or large containers, Summer Drummer alliums add color and texture wherever you plant them. Their striking silhouette works beautifully in naturalized or structured landscapes, and they’re deer-resistant, too!

Planting Tips

Plant the bulbs in fall, around 4-6 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart, and by next summer, you’ll have a towering floral display. Best in full sun, but they can tolerate partial shade. They're also excellent for dried flower arrangements once the season winds down.

Ready to drum up some excitement in your garden? The Summer Drummer Allium is ready to make an entrance!
