Description
It’s always fun when a sport of an existing plant is found that is a little different than the original, and that is the case with ‘Serendipity’…a blue-foliage sport of the green-leaved Millenium Allium. Serendipity produces loads of 1.5 to 2 inch globe-shaped clusters of rosy purple flowers on a 15 to 20 inch tall clump of grassy blue-green foliage that contrasts remarkably well with the flowers. An eyecatcher in the garden, this is one that the butterflies and other beneficial pollinators love and will thank you for planting!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to 15 to 20 inches tall and 10 to 15 inches wide, Serendipity Allium is ideal for use as an accent in small garden spaces and containers or in groupings in larger perennial borders and herb gardens. A fine addition to herb gardens, perennial gardens, purple theme gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly gardens, pollinator gardens and rock gardens.
Growing Preferences
Allium are very easy to grow in most any moist but well drained soil of average fertility. Not picky at all about soil pH. grows well in full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 4 hours of sun per day for best growth and flowering. Remove spent flower heads if self-seeding is not desired. The leaves are best harvested by clipping them off at the base in order to maintain attractive appearance..
Plant Long & Prosper!
