The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Allium 'Big Beauty'
Choose Summer Beauty Ornamental Onion for a tidy, deer-resistant pollinator plant that flowers after spring bulbs fade. The tradeoff: it needs open, bright planting space and will not solve shade or screening needs.
Buy This If
- You want midsummer bloom.
- Deer browsing is a concern.
- You prefer tidy clumps.
Skip This If
- Your site stays wet.
- You need a tall plant.
- The bed gets much shade.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The globe flowers add clean midsummer color without taking over the bed. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It establishes at a useful pace but still behaves like a clumping perennial. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once settled, it mainly needs old stems cut back and decent drainage. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | A | The upright clump works well along walkways, bed fronts, and tight border pockets. |
| Screening Value | F | It is not tall or dense enough to block views. |

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for homeowners who want a clean perennial that handles dry-to-average soil and deer pressure without needing constant attention.

Customers Usually Ask
Is it a bulb allium?
No, treat it like a clumping perennial rather than a spring-planted bulb.
Will pollinators use it?
Yes, bees and other pollinators are drawn to the midsummer flowers.
Does it spread aggressively?
No, it forms clumps rather than running through the bed.
