Allium price questions
How much does Allium cost?
Across the 20 Allium varieties we currently track prices for, the range is $6.99 to $40.22, with a median of $15.97. The cheapest we see today is Gladiator Garlic at $6.99; the priciest is Chivette Chives at $40.22. Price tracks size and rarity more than anything else — a small plug of a common variety and a mature specimen of a new introduction are different products.
Why do prices vary so much between nurseries?
Mostly pot size. The same variety sold as a bare-root division, a quart, and a three-gallon shrub can differ several-fold, and nurseries do not label sizes consistently. We record the listed price for each offer and show the lowest, so compare the size on the nursery's own page before assuming the cheapest is the best value.
Where does this price data come from?
From daily price checks across the mail-order nurseries we track. We record current offers rather than retailer-supplied "compare at" pricing, and each plant page shows the lowest current nursery price in that data.
When is the best time to buy Allium?
Watch the discount breadth rather than the sticker. Our price index tracks what share of plants are discounted on any given day against the recent norm, which is a better buy signal than any single listing. End-of-season clearances are real, but so is picked-over stock.
