Allium sphaerocephalon
This gorgeous Allium has small, deep pink, egg-shaped flowerheads that top tall, slender stems in mid- to late summer. Planted en masse in a border, these diminutive flowers look great emerging from a screen of foliage or against a backdrop of ornamental grasses, and they gently fade as summer comes to a close.
Plant in full sun in a sheltered spot in the garden to enjoy colour and structure all summer long.
The flowers of this Allium are also edible, making a great addition to seasonal salads.
Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
