Description

Large clusters (6"-12" in diameter) of lavender, white, pink or purple pom-poms appear in spring and summer. These unusual flowers are on top of stems which are 6"-24" tall and 12' wide. These flowers are great for dried flower or fresh flower arrangements. Plant the bulbs in fall to enhance rock gardens, containers or with other leafy foliaged perennials. Allium has a slight garlic scent. Remove spent foliage in late fall. This plant does well in full sun. Bees love this plant.
