Allium 'Mount Everest' Bulbs – Snowy White Giant Globe, Deer Resistant, Fall Planting

Allium 'Mount Everest' is the definitive white ornamental allium — a stunning counterpart to the violet-blue giants, with perfectly round, softball-sized snowy white globe flower heads on tall, straight stems that bring an ethereal elegance to any border. Long-lived, carefree, and dramatic, Mount Everest bridges the gap between late spring bulbs and early summer perennials with pure white blooms that pair beautifully with deep purple alliums, blue Salvia, and any bold summer color. Deer, vole, chipmunk, and rabbit resistant. Excellent as a fresh or dried cut flower, and equally stunning in containers or in-ground plantings.

Planting & Care

Plant bulbs pointed tip up in well-drained soil in fall. Fertilize with bulb food at planting. Water well after planting. Allow foliage to die back naturally after blooming.
