Description
Allium Eros is named after the Greek god of love, Allium Eros is made up of attractive umbels of pink flowers. Grow alliums in light well drained fertile soil. If soil is heavy simply add grit and sand to ease the drainage. Like all Alliums they are late flowering and will come back for many years as long as they are well fed.
Cultivation Instructions
Alliums perform very well with early flowering perennials and are also popular with bees and butterflies. Alliums will naturalise very well in most well drained soils. Cultivate soils to a depth of 15cms and plant the bulbs 10cms deep and 5-8cms apart. in Heavy soils add grit and or well rotted humus matter to help with drainage.
Feed bulbs during the flowering period to ensure they remain health for years to come. During the growing season feed regularly with foods such as well rotted manures, tomato feed and bone meal.
Care tips:
Keep well fed during the growing season and if possible mulch borders with well rotted manure or compost over the winter.
