Allium 'Ambassador' is a towering ornamental onion that reaches up to 4 feet, featuring massive violet-purple flower globes measuring 6 to 8 inches across. Blooming from late spring into summer, it thrives in sunny, well-drained gardens, showing drought tolerance and strong resistance to deer and rabbits while attracting pollinators. Pairs well with perennials like irises and peonies. A superb cut flower, fresh or dried.

Timing: Plant in fall before the ground freezes to ensure proper root development. Ideal soil temperature for planting is 60°F or colder.
Location: Choose a sunny, well-drained spot—poor drainage can cause bulb rot.
Depth & Spacing: Bury bulbs two to three times their height and space them six to twelve inches apart for optimal growth.
Soil: Maintain a pH of 6 to 7 and enrich with organic matter for better drainage.
Watering: Keep soil moist but not soggy during initial growth; once established, alliums are drought-tolerant.
Foliage Management: Leaves yellow after blooming—plant among perennials to disguise fading foliage.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to prevent self-seeding unless you want naturalized clusters.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support strong blooms.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Alliums are deer and rabbit resistant but avoid planting in areas with excessive moisture to prevent fungal issues.
Crop Rotation: Change planting locations yearly to prevent soil-borne diseases.
