Allium - PURPLE Rain 60cm x 10 stems
Allium 'Purple Rain' is a sophisticated florist favourite, celebrated for its perfectly balanced form. A hybrid between 'Purple Sensation' and Allium cristophii, it inherits the best of both worlds: the rich, royal-purple hue of the former and the large, architectural, star-shaped florets of the latter.
Standing at a versatile 60cm, these stems are ideal for creating "floating" focal points in bouquets or adding modern, structural height to event installations. Unlike denser varieties, 'Purple Rain' has a slightly more open, airy bloom that allows light to pass through, making it a dream for photographers and stylists alike.
Conditioning Tip: To ensure the best possible experience for both florist and client, we highly recommend the use of CVBN tablets during conditioning. These specialised tablets are a game-changer for Alliums; they neutralise the natural "onion" scent often associated with the stems and significantly improve water uptake for a longer, crisper vase life.

- Variety: Allium 'Purple Rain'
- Appearance: Striking globes consisting of hundreds of tiny, star-shaped purple flowers.
