Product Description
Allium Tobago, or 'Spider', is an exploding firework of a flower, creating a spider-leg effect. On the end of each tiny firework stem, a small star-shaped flower appears in glorious shades of purple. Quite a different take on the classic Allium, but is exceptional for those who want something more unique in their spring and summer display. 10+cm bulbs supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil at approx 10cm apart and at a depth of roughly 3-4 times the size of the bulb. Larger bulbs should be spaced 20cm apart. Leave untouched for a number of years until the bulbs have multiplied and divide if necessary. Smaller alliums can be grown in containers, but ensure it's large enough to space the bulbs an appropriate distance apart.
