Allium (Ornamental Garlic) – A Purple Firework in Your Bouquet
Allium is pure architecture. Its long, straight stem, crowned with a perfect sphere of tiny purple flowers, is an unmissable design element. It adds height, rhythm, and a touch of modern magic to any bouquet. Its spherical flower head is bold, yet incredibly delicate.
A Tip from our Florist, Andrea: "For me, Allium is a symbol of the Czech summer. I love its graphic shape. In season, we source beautiful stems directly from growers in Moravia. It's a 'show-stealing' flower, and people often ask us about it at our farmer's market stall at Kulaťák. Plus, it's fantastic when dried!"
