The "Ambassador" ornamental onion belongs to the most valued varieties of this species. The huge, brightly coloured spherical inflorescences constitute a garden decoration that can hardly be overseen. Apart from the gargantuan size and beautiful colour, the "Ambassador" onion stands out with late flowering period (June - July). The magnificent, thick and stiff flowering stalks sprout from a rosette of fleshy, green leaves. These majestic plants grow usually 100 cm tall, proudly towering over the borders. The 15-20 cm wide inflorescence ball consists of densely, radiately packed, fluffy flowers. The vivid, saturated colour of the inflorescence is visible from afar. Purple fits the monochromatic arrangements very well, yet it may also be used in colourful compositions. The "Ambassador" ornamental onion is perfectly suited for all styles of garden arrangements. This universal plant dazzles with its undisputed charm.

Ornamental onion should be planted between September and November. Choose a sunny site with permeable soil with a close to neutral reaction. Apply a drainage layer in case of compact, firm soils. Plant the bulbs at depth equal thrice their height, 20 - 25 cm apart. You may fertilize the culture with compost or multi-component mineral fertilizer. Watering should take place right after the planting, at the quick growth stage and during drought periods. Avoid waterlogging of the soil. Ornamental onions, including the "Ambassador" variety offered here, belong to frost-resistant plants that may winter in the ground.

Bulbs of these onion are actually cloves, so it is perfectly normal for them to look as if they have been split. Each flat bulb will develop a beautiful plant - that's guaranteed!
