Sand Leek (Allium scorodoprasum) 9cm pots - Native Wildflower for Pollinators

A wonderfully understated native wildflower, Sand Leek (Allium scorodoprasum) brings soft structure, movement, and ecological value to naturalistic planting.

Often found in dry grasslands, hedgerows, and coastal areas, this elegant allium produces delicate clusters of dusky purple flowers held on slender stems above fine, grassy foliage. It’s a subtle beauty - but one that pollinators quickly notice.

Highly attractive to bees and other insects, Sand Leek provides a valuable nectar source during the summer months, while its natural, airy form works beautifully in wildflower meadows, banks, and informal borders.

Unlike many ornamental alliums, this native species sits comfortably within a wildlife-friendly planting scheme, supporting biodiversity without dominating the space.

Supplied as strong peat-free super plugs, grown without pesticides, ready to establish and gently naturalise over time.
