Allium hollandicum 'Purple Sensation'

Back in October last year, an extra 40 Allium hollandicum 'Purple Sensation' bulbs were planted in the four borders that form the serpentine in The Ruskin Building courtyard, see blog entry 18th October 2012 'Holes In The Ground'. Now, seven and a half months later, the extra bulbs have resulted in a stunning display of purple flower heads that seem to be floating above the newly emerging perennials and box balls.
