Alliums & Ornithogalum
Alliums are related to the onion family and are bred for their sculptured, spherical flower heads. There are many varieties of cut alliums available and are particulately popular when it comes to contempory floristry. Alliums produce a chemical called 'cysteine sulfoxide' which causes them to small like onions!
Ornithogalum, (otherwise known as Star of Bethlehem & Chincherinchee), have a very long vase life. Purchase in good time to allow for open flowers.

For inspiration and guidance, our website offers detailed flower guides and arrangement ideas.
What is the availability season for Alliums?
Our fresh-cut Alliums are predominantly available from March through June, with certain varieties like Allium Sphaerocephalon extending availability into December. We recommend consulting our online availability chart or contacting our team to confirm current stock and seasonal offerings.
How should I care for cut Alliums to ensure longevity?
To maximise the vase life of your Alliums:
- Trim the stems at a 45-degree angle using a sharp knife.
- Place them in sterilised containers filled with lukewarm water and add appropriate flower food.
- Allow the flowers to condition overnight before use.
Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, drafts, or proximity to ripening fruits, as these conditions can adversely affect their freshness.
Do Alliums have any scent that might affect their use in arrangements?
Alliums, also known as ornamental onions, contain a compound called cysteine sulfoxide, which can emit an onion-like odour. This scent varies among varieties and may influence their suitability in certain arrangements, particularly in enclosed spaces or events where fragrance is a consideration.
