Allium Nigrum, also known as black garlic, has long stems and charming semi-spherical flowers. The variety got its name from the black ovary that forms pearls within the flower. This variety is extremely popular among all our pollinators, who eagerly gather around the black garlic's wonderful blooms. Allium Nigrum has also received the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, which is given to particularly deserving plants.
Deer and hares do not like Allium, which means you can have your fantastic spring bulb all to yourself!

Care and cultivation advice
Plant the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards. Plant it at a depth that is 2-3 times the height of the bulb. If there is often a risk of frost in your area, you can plant it even deeper to provide better protection for the bulb. Don't forget to water after planting.
For prolonged and recurring blooming, allium bulbs need to be fertilized in the upcoming seasons, especially if the soil is poor. This should be done when the bulb is actively growing during spring and early autumn. Spread composted manure that is rich in phosphorus and potassium or use classic onion fertilizer.
