Purple Flowers That Create Eye-Popping Appeal

5. Ornamental alliums are hardy, sensational show-stoppers

The allium is an excellent combination of eye-catching elegance, drought tolerance, and pest resistance, making it a perfect choice for an easy-to-care-for garden. They belong to the same family as onions, shallots, and garlic. You’ll find purple alliums in an array of bloom types, from large globes to drumstick shapes, to those that look like exploding, violet-hued fireworks. These plants love sunlight. Plant bulbs in the fall, and they’ll bloom in early summer.
