Allium 'Cameleon'
Dispatch begins week of 14 September
Autumn planting varieties are seasonal and become available at the start of September. We will then prepare your order and begin dispatch during the week beginning Monday 14 September.
Allium 'Cameleon' is a charmingly compact ornamental onion, prized for its light, globe-shaped flower heads that subtly shift from soft pink to white as they mature. Airy and refined, it slips beautifully into pots, gravel gardens and the front of borders—adding a gentle, modern note without ever feeling fussy.
Plant in autumn and look forward to a neat display in late spring, with flowers held above fresh green foliage. A particularly elegant choice for pollinator-friendly planting where a softer palette is desired.
