Description
Our white allium plant in pot brings the rounded, spherical blooms of a summer border indoors without any of the upkeep. Each flower head is made up of dozens of tiny white florets clustered into a soft globe, sitting atop a slim green stem that rises from a simple pot. As an artificial potted plant it captures the airy, drumstick shape of a real allium, with pale petals that catch the light and a gentle sway to the stems that reads as natural from across a room.
Standing 70cm tall with a footprint of 17x17cm, this piece slots neatly onto a hallway console, a kitchen worktop or a bathroom shelf where fresh flowers would struggle. The plastic construction keeps it lightweight and durable, and the muted green foliage balances the white heads so nothing looks flat. Group it with our other potted greenery for a layered look, or lift a stem out and mix it into a taller vase display alongside dried grasses and eucalyptus. The stems have a slight bend to them, so you can angle the heads to face the light or fan them for a fuller shape.
Care could not be easier. There is no watering, no repotting and no fading in a sunny window to worry about. Simply dust the florets and leaves occasionally with a soft cloth or a quick blast from a hairdryer on the cool setting to keep them looking crisp. Reposition the stems whenever you fancy a change, and it will hold its form year after year.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real allium?
Yes. The spherical heads are built from many small white florets, and the slim stems and green base give it the same shape and posture as a garden allium, so it reads convincingly from a normal viewing distance.
How do I style it with other pieces?
It works well grouped with other potted greenery on a shelf or console, or you can lift a stem into a taller vase and mix it with dried grasses and foliage for a fuller arrangement.
How do I clean it?
Dust the florets and leaves now and then with a soft cloth, or use a hairdryer on the cool setting to lift dust from the tighter clusters.
Does it need water?
No. It needs no water or feeding at all. Just position it and enjoy it, and adjust the bendable stems whenever you want to change the shape.
Will it shed or fade?
The florets are fixed to the heads so there is no shedding, and the plastic holds its white colour well. Keeping it out of harsh direct sunlight will help it stay bright for longer.
